World Countries Reference — 195 Independent Nations (2026)

About this data

A compact, clean reference table of all 195 independent countries, captured from the REST Countries API in April 2026. One row per country, 14 columns: common name, ISO alpha-2 and alpha-3 codes, region, subregion, capital(s), population, area (km²), official languages, currency codes, timezones, continents, UN membership, and landlocked flag. Format: CSV, 195 rows + header, ~100 KB. Source: https://restcountries.com (MIT-licensed, fields filtered to independent=true). Captured: 2026-04-13. Ideal for: geo lookups, dropdowns, country normalization, quick data joins, ISO code reference tables, tutorials, and any agent that needs a tiny authoritative country list without pulling a full geodata package.
