This repository is a data engineering pipeline that produces a comprehensive, unified country codes dataset (CSV/JSON) by merging information from multiple authoritative sources: ISO 3166, ISO 4217, UN Statistics, UN Protocol (UNTERM), CLDR, statoids, Geonames, EDGAR, FIFA, and Wikidata. The pipeline is orchestrated via a Makefile that sequentially runs Python scripts to fetch, parse, clean, and join data. The final output contains dozens of columns covering country names in multiple languages, ISO codes, currency codes, dialing codes, and more. The repository is primarily a data transformation project rather than a software application, though it includes sophisticated web scraping and fuzzy matching. The code is modular and well-structured, but reproducibility is hampered by a manual step requiring users to manually download and rename UNSD CSV files. The included GitHub Actions workflow automates monthly updates. Overall, the project is a solid reference data curation effort with moderate complexity.
