The Push to Ban Ransom Payments Is Gaining Momentum
Ransomware costs victims an estimated $30 billion per year and has gotten so out of control that global support for banning payments is gaining momentum.

Readme
This repo contains a static JSON file of country names, country short codes, country regions, and country region short codes. All country names and short codes are guaranteed to be unique. Similarly, all regions and region short codes within a single country are guaranteed to be unique.
I created this repo to house the raw data used for the country-region-selector, react-country-region-selector scripts. I didn't want to duplicate it in multiple places and hey, it seemed like this could be useful as a standalone repo.
See the data.json
file for the data. The JSON is of the form:
[
{
"countryName":"Ecuador",
"countryShortCode":"EC",
"regions":[
{
"name":"Azuay",
"shortCode":"A"
},
...
}
},
...
]
The state/prov abbreviations are not yet complete, so pull requests welcome! Regions that need ISO3166-2 codes can
be identified by having a missing shortCode
property for each region. You can find them by cloning the repo, then
running:
npm install
grunt findIncomplete
That'll list all countries with regions that are missing region short codes. Wikipedia has a lot of the data listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2
Before contributing a PR, please validate the JSON content (if you don't, Travis will catch it for you!). To do that, run the following on your command line:
npm install
grunt validate
That'll throw an error if the JSON is invalid or if some duplicate names were accidentally introduced. The error messages are pretty clear, I think.
