In case it can help anyone, I just took the list of ISO 3166 country codes and names in English and French and put them together in CSV and SQL format: http://blog.plsoucy.com/2012/04/iso-3166-country-code-list-csv-sql/
While doing that, I fixed the capitalization so names aren't all uppercase, and renamed a few countries to the name that is used on Wikipedia, so "MACEDONIA, THE FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF" became "Macedonia" for example. That should allow for shorter lists.
Feel free to use these if you want.
