The Country Information Database
provides you with information about more than 260 countries and
territories. It includes each place's location on the world map,
its capital city, currency (code and name), time (current time,
difference from GMT, DST period) and telephone codes (country
code, area code of capital, international dial prefix number).
You can search the database by keyword.
As well as being a useful resource in its own right, information in the Country Information Database is used when you add cities in the World Clock application from the "World Clock Setting" view as detailed above (see 9-2a (2)).
