Full region name geodata, where to find?

Question

Hey all, I used MindData's free database for blocks and location data, and then found a free table for full country names (all 249 countries, excluding the 5 disputed ones). My issue is that I'd like to find a table of all the full region names. For example, in the GeoIP location table, the region called MD would be Maryland, but there's no lookup for that particular state. Where can this be found?

Thanks all, -Steve

Answer 1

The MaxMind documentation for the GeoIP database includes that exact question in their FAQ: Where can I get a conversion table of region codes to names?

(They provide their own look-up tables, both for the US and Canada and for other countries.)
