Well, this regular expression seems to do the job in most cases:

        var regex = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(@"([\w+\s*\.*]+\))");
        foreach (var item in CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.SpecificCultures))
        {
            var match = regex.Match(item.DisplayName);
            string countryName = match.Value.Length == 0 ? "NA" : match.Value.Substring(0, match.Value.Length - 1);
            Console.WriteLine(countryName);
        }

You can use the Name property of the CultureInfo to construct a RegionInfo. You can then use the DisplayName property. Try:

foreach (CultureInfo ci in CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.SpecificCultures))
{
            var ri = new RegionInfo(ci.Name);
            Console.WriteLine(ri.DisplayName);
}
