Countries in the world
The repo contains the ISO 3166-1 numeric code, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, ITU-T calling code and name (English, Spanish and Catalan) in natural language for all the sovereign countries in the world recognized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 3166 standard.
The task of obtaining the correct name for each country is costly and repetitive, so this repo contains names only for English, Spanish and Catalan. If you feel like contributing to add more languages, please do it.
