Tricky question, but if you're posting it to a HTML newsgroup, then I
suspect that what you're really looking for is the ISO standard list of
codes. The country codes are ISO 3166, the language codes are ISO 639
There's a big political aspect to what a "country" or a "nationality"
is, but mere web designers don't need to worry too much about that,
just use the standard list. Most importantly, use the same standard
list as everyone else, otherwise you can have some awful data transfer
problems. I sometimes live in a place that's in the United Kingdom but
not in Great Britain. I've yet to hear of any web designer being
kneecapped for using "gb" as a code though.
Good intros over here
