This is a very simple country-list wrapper for php based on rinvex/countries.
We use it for out own projects that require localization.
We included localization (translations) as a second parameter for convenience.
$country = Country::find('us'); // Country Object
$countryName = Country::name('us', 'de'); // Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika
$countryFlag = Country::flag('us');
$countrySelectOptionsArray = Country::getSelectOptions('de');
\\ [..., 'us' => "Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika"]
