Best way to store Country codes, names, and Continent in Java

Question

I want to have a List or Array of some sort, storing this information about each country:

• 2 letter code
• Country name such as Br

Answer 1

using the Locale object is the best solution I can think of, you wouldn't need to store anything. But if you are using GWT try to do that on the server side, as some say you won't get it working correctly on the client side (as it gets translated to javascript) you can send them to the client in an RPC as stated before.
