Hi Calvin, 

What I 'think' Nyall meant was to add such data to QGIS itself? We already have 
a gpkg with the world countries on board (everybody know the easter egg: 'type 
world in the coordinate input' yes?).
But... adding 102Mb to the QGIS installer is maybe too much :-) Or can you 
shrink that down to some smaller size/format?
Also, not sure in which version this will show up then (and on what ancient 
QGIS version your government client is....).

If all fails, I'd accept Tim's proposal to get it uploaded on plugins.qgis.org 
via the backdoor/Tim...

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
