A more authoritative source might be: http://www.iso.org/iso/iso-3166-1_decoding_table (search for "Table 3:"). Unfortunately, the official country names are given in GREAT RUNES; so, as a practical matter, one might want to use the Wikipedia list as the primary source for generating machine-readable data (CSV files, for example) and the ISO list for manual double checking. --Bill Seymour
