postal-country-region-data
Fork of country-region-data by Ben Keen. This fork focuses on state/country data for postal/shipping addresses.
This dataset is heavily modified fromo the original repo. It omits region information not used in addressing, and adds text and codes for use in addresses and APIs.
Data is specifically structured for use in drop-down forms and validation functions targetting submission to shipping and payment APIs.
Data is cross-referenced between ISO3166-2, Frank's Compulsive Guide to Postal Addresses, the Universal Postal Union Postal Addressing Systems Database, and Paypal Developer Documentation - State & Province Codes.
This dataset may not be 100% accurate, complete or up to date, but aims to be sufficiently complete for production use and preferable to available alternatives.
