Here is SQL and a tab delimited list of Countries for all to use.
The original data was sourced from Wikipedia.
Note that some countries have single quotes in their names, these need to be escaped for SQL. The SQL I’m supplying is escaped, but the tab delimited version is not.
Please post a comment if you find this useful.

Cheers, this is very useful!

Thanks, very handy 🙂
Useful.Thanks for this. Is there any list which show flag with country code? Thanks
There is a mistake (obviously found in many dropdown menues so who knows where the error comes from)which is aggravating. Martinique is here listed as a country. Sorry, it is not ! It is a French territory just the same as Corsica or Brittany…. I shpuld know, I was born, raised there and I live there. Our President is the damn French President. The people who trust your list and don’t check for themselves end up listing it as a country on their commercial websites and the end result is this : peopke like me end up being denied some products or downloads which are available for France but since according to your list we are not France (when technically we are, if not geographically) and it’s a pain in the ass. Thank you for the work but just because we are an island (again check Corsica which is an island and a French territory just like Martinique and Guadeloupe) does not make us a country.
Hi Isabelle, not sure if you’re just trolling of this is a real concern for you. The data is maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) which is based in Geneva, Switzerland. They are the “world’s largest developer of voluntary international standards and facilitates world trade by providing common standards between nations”. I suggest you raise your concerns with the good people at ISO
Did you base this date on the actual ISO list or on the Wikipedia list? The Wikipedia list is not up to date. Your list, for example, does not include Curacao which is on the ISO list, and it does include Netherlands Antilles, which is not on the ISO list. In case you’re worried about trolling, I found your post because I get tired of these drop down menus that don’t include the country I live in, and I wanted to research why that happens. Yes, it’s a real concern. MHO, if you’re going to provide such a list, you should keep it up to date. The Netherlands Antilles was dissolved as a country in 2010 (source: https://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/22528.htm).
