Text List of All Countries in the World

Given the success of this simple list, I thought it would be good to see if it could be improved by opening it up to greater collaboration. Check out our blog post about Factual.

How hard would it be to simply have a text list of all countries in the world that you could use to just cut and paste for a drop-down list? I was just in the middle of creating a cck node for countries and wanted a quick list I could cut and paste from without having to muck about with doing search/replace work to get rid of the side data from Wikipedia or the UN's list of countries. I wanted a similar list for states & provinces in North America, so just added that.The Wikipedia list also has lists of the states lacking general international recognition, of which Taiwan & Palestine are likely the most hotly contested.

My friend Jason Ramsey pointed out on Facebook (when my rss feed migrated there) that there were some other options, looking at "the perl cpan module Geography::Country you will notice that they use the ISO 3166-1 list which I searched for and found this list. Then you can easily do a regex to strip off the country code. Or there is also this easy to use list tool. I took the output from this and formatted it nicely for use in CCK's select forms (one value per line - key|label.) & the survey module (A list of all options - delimited by semicolons & colons - 1:red;2:blue;3:green).

It is useful to have a drop-down that returns a country code so that this can be consistently stored with your client's address. If you do need support with user input forms, please feel contact us.

Thank you.

Saved me a lot of time

On github

Let me start by thanking you!

Earlier this year I had created a gist on github with a list of nationalities, I've now taken the liberty to put your data into a few data formats for a list of countries as well.

Formats include YAML, CSV and TXT. For anybody interested: list of nationalities and list of countries

cut and paste list of countries

Step 1) Googled cut and paste list of countries
Step 2) Clicked the first result and came to this page
Step 3) Found what I needed, cut and pasted into my survey form.

Total time < 10 sec

THANK YOU!

Thanks so much!!!!

I'll echo everyone elses

I'll echo everyone elses comments and say thank you very much, you saved me a lot of time.

Nice.

You dont know how or where to get a list of all (! at least the major ones) cities in each country?

There are other lists with this info

I found this one as an example.

Lists of City Names

I think GeoNames is your best bet for this data, but there is also a nice looking Drupal API too.

You spelled Colombia

You spelled Colombia wrong!
it's not colUmbia its with an O
Thanks

Corrected

Thanks.. I believe it was spelled correctly elsewhere.. Not sure how that error got in there.

Mike

thanks only problem is that

thanks

only problem is that there were several spelling errors in some of your coutries listed
narau should read nauru
tajikstan should read tajikistan
greneda sould read grenada
otherwise fine.

Thanks none-the-less for the time-saver

Elisa

Problems Fixed

Great!

Just had to say thanks. You saved me a lot of time!

Appreciation

Thank you for your list, my problem was the same and your efforts have helped me as well. Thank you.

this is a timesaver!

I was actually looking to the same thing with a cck drop down list of all countries. Thanks to this list, it took me a total of 15 seconds! I googled "text list all countries" and I found your site.

countries and continents

Thanks for the list now can u list the regions and continents with the countries in each? Middle East, Asia, Central America, South America etc.... Thanks

This is great stuff

Thank you for your efforts in this ... very useful!

Hate to be a Debbie Downer,

Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but I'm from Bermuda and you've missed me off the list...

Countries List, Not Countries & Territories

Sorry, but Bermuda is a British overseas territory so doesn't qualify for this list. If an independence manages to get international recognition, please let me know.

Bermuda

You may be right that Bermuda is a British overseas territory, but it would be useful on the list because although it belongs to the UK, selecting UK as a postal address wouldn't be very useful for Bermudans!

Thankyou

I stumbled upon this page right at the time I needed such a list. Thanks quite a lot.

- Dwayne.

Kosovo is missing from the list!!

Kosovo is missing from the list! The Assembly of Kosovo approved a declaration of independence on 17 February 2008.

Declairing Independence vs Being Recognized as Independent

Hey, thanks for your comment. I've decided to approve Kosovo, even though it isn't in the list of UN member states. It has been recognized by a critical mass of countries including Canada, USA & UK. Not that those are the only ones that matter, but they have a pretty significant impact on the web.

no it is not

Cape Verdi should be Verde

Thanks

I've corrected that in the lists on this page.

Some corrections...

Yugoslavia does not excist anymore and should not be on this list. On February 4, 2003 it was renamed to the "State Union of Serbia and Montenegro", and officially abolished the name "Yugoslavia". On June 3 and June 5, 2006 respectively, Montenegro and Serbia declared independence, thereby ending the Yugoslav state. --> Serbia and Montenegro should be on the list!

Kosovo is missing from the list. The 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence was adopted on 17 February 2008, and declared Kosovo to be independent from Serbia (recognized by more than 40 countries, including the USA, the UK, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Australia, and many more)

Westen Samoa changed name to Samoa in 1997.

Good Details

Especially catching the name change to Samoa.

Montenegro won its

Montenegro won its independence from Serbia in 2006 and was recognized by the UN the same year. "Serbia and Montenegro" doesn't exist any more.

Thanks, but where?

That's been fixed in the lists I see posted. Do you see it listed as Serbia & Montenegro somewhere?

Kosovo is not independent country

You have an error! Kosovo is not recognize as an independent country by UN and by all EU coutry, so it still has no independency. It's still part of Serbia. Please, remove it.

I have addressed this above

Kosovo is recognized by most Western countries and I am keeping it in the list. Thanks for your request though. I do hope that there is movement towards a better resolution for this issue in the near future.

Kosovo

Kosovo is not independent state, and is not on the list of independent states on UN list. Your wish is Your problem, fact is just opposite. When UN recognize Kosovo than You can put it on the list, ie, NEVER.

Kosovo

Kosovo is Serbia !

You can just wish

Actually, Kosovo i snot independent and never will be, there is more than 200 countries on world, and less than half said that criminal albanian population can have Kosovo like independent country, but more than half says it is Serbian teritory...
wait for few years longer and you will gone from Kosovo, and those countries who suported you will kick you back to middle east...they just useing for now for their own reasons...but it wont last for long...
