Country names are all capitalized, which makes them a bit harder to read ( UNITED ARAB EMIRATES vs United Arab Emirates for example).
They list official country names, which can sometimes be quite long even in their “short” version, such as MACEDONIA, THE FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF.I therefore took their latest list of 249 countries (as of February 2012) and fixed the capitalization/shortened the names of a few countries to more usual ones (e.g. Macedonia instead of MACEDONIA, THE FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF).
I did the same with the list of French country names and merged the English and French lists together, resulting in a table with the following 3 columns:. ISO 3166 country code. English Name. French NameThese are free for everyone to download and redistribute. I hope it saves you some time.
