Have a quick read of the documentation and you'll see that it mentions "addresses" a lot! http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#Geocoding Changing the region parameter may get you more relevant geocoder results. For example, I get Canada as a result when I specify region=au: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=CA&sensor=false®ion=au Rossko's suggestion of using your own lookup of ISO 3166-1 codes is an excellent one, and if it's exactly what you need (only lookups of these codes), then you should do that.
