Country Flags and Codes Plugin
About
This is a Helper Plugin with a Country.XML file, Flags and Country Codes, can be used to lookup of country name and flags to access content on internet.
The country.xml can be used in plugins where the location need to be set for the end user.
I used the FIPS-104 code when generation the links to the CIA World Factbook. The CountryName was used for the links to the Anthems music.
If you need a specific country xml file, I can help in generating one from an Excel sheet that I use for generating XML files.
Plugin usage
Press enter on a flag and a web browser will be launched to the CIA World Factbook.
Select Anthem, then flag and the national anthem for that country might be played.
