Hey all, new to open layers. Right now i'm trying to develop something 
similar to that CIA factbook where one can click on a country and get 
the details. I've got the click stuff down and how to grab the 
coordinates but what i dont understand is how to figure out the country 
by the coordinates. I noticed witih the fact book it takes the 
coordinates and i believe makes a box from them with max and min 
long/lats and does something from there?

Can anyone help me shed some light on this? Is there a general file that 
has the country data and coor that i can call on to get the country name 
from?

Thanks
-Ali
