Country-Select

Forked from https://github.com/purcell/country-select.

Provides a simple helper to get an HTML select list of countries. The list of countries comes from the ISO 3166 standard. While it is a relatively neutral source of country names, it will still offend some users.

Users are strongly advised to evaluate the suitability of this list given their user base.

Installation

Install as a gem using

gem install country-select-iso

Or put the following in your Gemfile

gem 'country-select-iso'

Using as library
