Geopolitical

ISO 3366-1

Two letter code: BR, DE, UK, US...

ISO 3366-2

Region/Province state code: BR-SP, BR-RJ, BR-MG, US-NY, US-WA, US-CA

Geometries

Areas and points.

Phone codes

With the help of phonie, it's now easy to two way map entities and phone codes.

Postal codes

Great for address validation and form pre-population.

Outside Rails

require 'geopolitical/models'

Naming

  • Nation -> Country
    • Region -> State/Province
    • City -> District/Microregion
      • Hood -> Zone/Neighbourhood

Each must be inside the former.
