Answer 4

In case you need the pair country code - name. This might be helpful:
source

import java.text.Collator;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Locale;

public class CountryList {
    public static List<Country> get() {
        // A collection to store our country object
        List<Country> countries = new ArrayList<Country>();

        // Get ISO countries, create Country object and
        // store in the collection.
        String[] isoCountries = Locale.getISOCountries();
        for (String country : isoCountries) {
            Locale locale = new Locale("en", country);
            String iso = locale.getISO3Country();
            String code = locale.getCountry();
            String name = locale.getDisplayCountry();

            if (!"".equals(iso) && !"".equals(code) && !"".equals(name)) {
                countries.add(new Country(iso, code, name));
            }
        }

        // Sort the country by their name and then display the content
        // of countries collection object.
        Collections.sort(countries, new CountryComparator());
        return countries;
    }

    /**
     * Country pojo class.
     */
    public static class Country {
        private String iso;
        private String code;
        private String name;

        Country(String iso, String code, String name) {
            this.iso = iso;
            this.code = code;
            this.name = name;
        }

        public String toString() {
            return iso + " - " + code + " - " + name.toUpperCase();
        }
    }

    /**
     * CountryComparator class.
     */
    private static class CountryComparator implements Comparator<Country> {
        private Comparator<Object> comparator;

        CountryComparator() {
            comparator = Collator.getInstance();
        }

        public int compare(Country c1, Country c2) {
            return comparator.compare(c1.name, c2.name);
        }
    }
}

Answer 5

I ended up finding a nice list in English. I'll leave it here, for future use in the case someone needs it. I'll try to find in different languages, or try to construct it...

If posting it here is not standard procedure, I'll save it somewhere and post a link.

Thank you
