Any help that you guys could

Is there any plugin which will help to create a dropdown menus for countries, regions and cities? At first user chooses country, then he has his region dropdown menu updated according to which country he has chosen, he chooses region and after that from 3rd menu a city. Plugin can be either for Ruby on Rails, jQuery or maybe javascript solution through google maps api? The Freebase Suggest jQuery plug-in provides pretty slick auto-complete functionality that provides suggestions in a drop-down, complete with Freebase/Wiki-style context info on mouseover.
