RDF is the way of a computer readable www. Though it may be slightly
wider than you want to consider, maybe you should think up an RDF schema
for country information. You could have some RDF/XML that looked like:
<rdf:RDF
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/"
xmlns:ci="http://some.url/countryinfo-1.0#">
<ci:Country>
<ci:name>Australia</ci:name>
<ci:countryCode>au</ci:countryCode>
<dc:creator>
<foaf:Person>
<foaf:name>Joe Bloggs</foaf:name>
<foaf:mbox rdf:resource="mailto:joe@bloggs.id.au"/>
</foaf:Person>
</dc:creator>
<ci:flag rdf:resource="http://www.sodipodi.com/clipart/flags/australia.svg"/>
<ci:hasTerritory>
<ci:State>
<ci:name>Victoria</ci:name>
<ci:flag rdf:resource="http://www.sodipodi.com/clipart/flags/australia_victoria.svg"/>
</ci:State>
<!-- ... -->
</ci:hasTerritory>
</ci:Country>
<!-- ... -->
</rdf:RDF>
