I found a List for other countries in Wikipedia. I used it to for my
country geo codes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1

Each country has a link for the ISO_3166-2 codes (states/provinces)
(not available for every country)

Hi Jonathon,

I used to work for The Office for National Statistics here in the UK.
UK Geography is a constantly changing headache. They have got quite a good
description why on their website.
http://www.statistics.gov.uk/geography/default.asp

They also have a list of legal names, codes etc..

Subject: Re: Country names and state/county/province names follow ISO?

Andrew,

I can't find any comprehensive ISO 3166-2 listings either. The URL
(statoids.com) I mentioned seem to have information to ISO 3166-2, probably
because the author actually bought the ISO 3166-2 databases from iso.org at
http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/05database/index.html
. I haven't verified this yet.

Anyway, I heard the UK counties are a tricky thing to track, like say for
Cleveland that is no longer existent but is still thought to exist by many
folks living near that area. Ie, if I take out Cleveland in OFBiz data
(assuming it was there), many UK users would complain.
