  countries by name but also by region and currency.

  To do this we take advantage of a myriad of different ISO standards:
    - ISO3166 : Alpha and numeric codes for countries and subdivisions
    - ISO4217 : Alpha and numeric codes for currencies
    - ISO639  : Alpha and numeric codes for languages
