About the relevance factor

To understand the usefulness of the relevance parameter, please read this:

• http://uxdesign.smashingmagazine.com/2011/11/10/redesigning-the-country-selector/
• http://baymard.com/labs/country-selector

To do

• add the official name of the country in english and in its native language
• add the type of the country (country, sovereign state, public body, territory, etc.)
• add regions, provinces and cities

Sources

http://www.currency-iso.org/ for currency codes.

Relevance are inspired by https://github.com/JamieAppleseed/selectToAutocomplete.

Region and subregion are taken from https://github.com/hexorx/countries.

The rest comes from Wikipedia.
