FIPS

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Information_Processing_Standard
Certain US States have FIPS codes. You can either get the code for a state
or look up a state by its FIPS code:

>> Decoder.i18n = :en
>> country = Decoder::Countries[:US]
>> state = country[:MA]
>> state.fips
=> 25
>> state = country.by_fips(25)
>> state.to_s
=> "Massachusetts"

i18n

When adding a new language please use the ISO 639-1 Code 2-letter standard.
You can find the appropriate code for a given language here:

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.

  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.

  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but

    bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
    
  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
