For countries, I'd probably start somewhere like this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1Although whether you'd want to include Åland, American Samoa, Anguilla, Antarctica, Aruba, Bermuda, Bouvet Island, British Indian Ocean Territory, Cayman Islands, Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Cook Islands, Falkland Islands (Malvinas), Faroe Islands, French Guiana, French Polynesia, French Southern Territories, Gibraltar, Greenland, Guadeloupe, Guam, Heard Island and McDonald Islands, Macao, Martinique, Mayotte, Montserrat, Netherlands Antilles, New Caledonia, Niue, Norfolk Island, Northern Mariana Islands, Pitcairn, Puerto Rico, Réunion, Saint Helena, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Tokelau, Turks and Caicos Islands, United States Minor Outlying Islands, Virgin Islands (British and U.S.), Wallis and Futuna and Western Sahara depends on what your list is for.For nationalities, I'd run away, very quickly. |

I thought Hell was an Island that Richard Branson owned - and enabled him to do marketing along the lines of "If we muck up we'll send you to Hell for free!"Perhaps there are several Hells ...Kristen |
