Will these get you started: 2 pages with easy to grab data, and the
wikipedia page about it:
English country names and code elements
This list states the country names (official short names in English) in
alphabetical order as given in ISO 3166-1 and the corresponding ISO
3166-1-alpha-2 code elements.
This list is updated whenever a change to the official code list in ISO
3166-1 is effected by the ISO 3166/MA.
It lists 246 official short names and code elements.
http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_names_and_code_elements
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Country Codes
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) under its
standard ISO 3166 has established two-letter (2-alpha) and three-letter
(3-alpha) codes for the various countries of the world, including
independent states, dependent areas, and certain areas of contested
jurisdiction or special status. These codes are published and revised
when needed by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency.
http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/codes/country.htm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes are two-letter country codes defined in ISO
3166-1, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO), to represent countries,
dependent territories, and special areas of geographical interest. They
are the most widely used of the country codes published by ISO (the
others being alpha-3 and numeric), and are used most prominently for the
Internet's country code top-level domains (with a few exceptions).[1]
They were first included as part of the ISO 3166 standard in its first
edition in 1974

Perhaps I should ask, how could I resolve an IP to a country code?
In my forum, I recently revamped my spammer IP list and wound up with
basically 50 main ip's that cover what I don't want in.
Problem is, the way it is set up, the IP block doesn't take effect until
the visitor does something, such as trying to register.
What I want to do is to check the IP from the beginning, and if it's on the
list, kick them off to another page.
I've seen a few sites that show how to do this but none show how to do it
with a wildcard scheme. With this script, using the external file would
help a lot.
Got any sites that would show how to use the wildcard scheme properly?

Not reliably, and such tricks are very easy to get around. With a few
minutes of looking, I can access your site from a lot of different
countries - or so your site things.

There are free databases to get a country code from an IP e.g.

That's what I used to build my IP list with. Gives a bit more info than
other sites do.

Sorry mate but you can't.
It simply will not work. Folks who send spam have many ways to make it
look like they are coming from another country.
Code if if you want to, but you'll really be wasting your time.

Is the spam being sent in form mail? How exactly is the spam being entered?
