Acme::MetaSyntactic::regions - Administrative country subdivisions
Most countries have administrative subdivisions, sometimes more than one level deep. This theme lists the first level of administrative divisions for a number of countries.
Depending on the country, they have differente names: regions, provinces, states, districts, emirates, parishes, dependencies, etc.
The main source for finding lists of regions is the ISO 3166-2 standard (Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions -- Part 2: Country subdivision code). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2.

After several attempts to fill the list of regions by hand over the previous five months, finally used WWW::Mechanize to scrape all ISO_3166-2:cc pages listed on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2 and Text::Unidecode to turn the names into valid Perl identifiers.
