DESCRIPTIONS
Atlas Query aims to be the the simplest way to query for country

countries by name but also by region and currency.
To do this we take advantage of a myriad of different ISO standards:
- ISO3166 : Alpha and numeric codes for countries and subdivisions
- ISO4217 : Alpha and numeric codes for currencies
- ISO639 : Alpha and numeric codes for languages
