The UN Food and Agriculture Organization website includes a list of all
countries that are members of the FAO or have been mentioned in FAO
reports.

http://www.fao.org/faoterm/nocs/html/Default-e.htm . It also provides
capital cities, languages, and Nationalities for each country.

The Perl one-liner for extracting proper names:
