I am not sure what kind of scripting you have to bread this out, but what about adding the ISO 3166-2 as a seperate data file

Pulling data from the official ISO website is probably a good idea anyway as it is the official source.

https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:pub:PUB500001:en

depending on your script you cold pull AA -ZZ and get all official ISO names/countries and the breakout of countries. like province/state/region etc.

I would ask you to remove the * from the sub area code names

i can't crawl that source. it's made with react or something.

Wikipeida does not have them all. Not finding a good current comprehensive list on most other standards sites.... there is this one though.

that looks decent and i can set it up so that whenever there's an update i could download, unzip and parse the file
i'll have an update on this soon
thanks for finding the source!

commented

so, i parsed that file and was about to commit it when i realized that it contains mostly names in english and not in local language...
maybe there's an even better list somewhere?

commented

Not finding a good other list.... also realized the ip2location list does not have the subcategory type.....

commented

is anybody using subcategories?

commented

i think what most people want is the list from ip2location

commented

Here's another list. They have subcategories also - see here for Hungary, and they seem to have proper local names with accents and everything. It also means that I'll have to include subcategories, as you mentioned.
