=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to convert the full name for a countries administrative
region to the code commonly used for postal addressing. The reverse lookup
can also be done. Sub country codes are defined in "ISO 3166-2:1998,
Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions".

Sub countries are termed as states in the US and Australia, provinces
in Canada and counties in the UK and Ireland.

Names and ISO 3166-2 codes for all sub countries in a country can be
returned as either a hash or an array.

Names and ISO 3166-1 codes for all countries in the world can be
returned as either a hash or an array.

ISO 3166-2 codes can be converted to FIPS 10-4 codes. The reverse lookup can 
also be done.

=head1 METHODS

Note that the following methods duplicate some of the functionality of the
Locale::Country module (part of the Locale::Codes bundle). They are provided
here because you may need to first access the list of available countries and
ISO 3166-1 codes, before fetching their sub country data. If you only need
access to country data, then Locale::Country should be used.

Note also the following method names are also used for sub country objects.
(interface polymorphism for the technically minded). To avoid confusion, make
sure that your chosen method is acting on the correct type of object.

    all_codes
    all_full_names
    code_full_name_hash
    full_name_code_hash


=head2 new Locale::SubCountry::World

The C<new> method creates an instance of a world country object. This must be
called before any of the following methods are invoked. The method takes no
arguments.


=head2 full_name_code_hash (for world objects)

Given a world object, returns a hash of full name/code pairs for every country,
keyed by country name.

=head2 code_full_name_hash  for world objects)

Given a world object, returns a hash of full name/code pairs for every country,
keyed by country code.


=head2 all_full_names (for world objects)

Given a world object, returns an array of all country full names, 
sorted alphabetically.

=head2 all_codes (for world objects)

Given a world object, returns an array of all country IS) 3166-1 codes,
sorted alphabetically.


=head2 new Locale::SubCountry

The C<new> method creates an instance of a sub country object. This must be
called before any of the following methods are invoked. The method takes a
single argument, the name of the country that contains the sub country
that you want to work with. It may be specified either by the ISO 3166-1
two letter code or the full name. For example:

    AF - Afghanistan
    AL - Albania
    DZ - Algeria
    AO - Angola
    AR - Argentina
    AM - Armenia
    AU - Australia
    AT - Austria


If the code is specified, such as 'AU'  the format may be in  capitals or lower case
If the full name is specified, such as 'Australia', the format must be in title case
If a country name or code is specified that the module doesn't recognised, it will issue a warning.

=head2 country

Returns the current country of a sub country object, the format is title case

=head2 country_code

Given a sub country object, returns the two letter ISO 3166-1 code of the country  


=head2 code

Given a sub country object, the C<code> method takes the full name of a sub 
country and returns the sub country's ISO 3166-2 code. The full name can appear
in mixed case. All white space and non alphabetic characters are ignored, except
the single space used to separate sub country names such as "New South Wales". 
The code is returned as a capitalised string, or "unknown" if no match is found.

=head2 full_name

Given a sub country object, the C<full_name> method takes the ISO 3166-2 code of
a sub country and returns the sub country's full name. The code can appear
in mixed case. All white space and non alphabetic characters are ignored. The
full name is returned as a title cased string, such as "South Australia".

If an optional argument is supplied and set to a true value, the full name is
returned as an upper cased string.

=head2 category

Given a sub country object, the C<category> method takes the ISO 3166-2 code of
a sub country and returns the sub country's category type. Examples are city,
province,state and district. The category is returned as a capitalised string, 
or "unknown" if no match is found.
 
=head2 regional_division

Given a sub country object, the C<regional_division> method takes the 
ISO 3166-2 code of a sub country and returns the sub country's 
regionional_division. This is, an alphanumeric code. The regional_division 
is returned as a capitalised string,  or "unknown" if no match is found.

=head2 has_sub_countries

Given a sub country object, the C<has_sub_countries> method returns 1 if the
current country has sub countries, or 0 if it does not. Some small countries 
such as Singapore do not have sub countries.

=head2 FIPS10_4_code

Given a sub country object, the C<FIPS_10_4_code> method takes the ISO 3166-2 code 
of a sub country and returns the sub country's FIPS 10-4 code, or the string 'unknown',
if none exists. FIPS is a standard  developed by the US government.

=head2 ISO3166_2_code

Given a sub country object, the C<ISO3166_2_code> method takes the FIPS 10-4 code 
of a sub country and returns the sub country's ISO 3166-2 code, or the string 'unknown',
if none exists.


=head2 full_name_code_hash  (for subcountry objects)

Given a sub country object, returns a hash of all full name/code pairs,
keyed by sub country name. If the country has no sub countries, returns undef.

=head2 code_full_name_hash  (for subcountry objects)

Given a sub country object, returns a hash of all code/full name pairs,
keyed by sub country code. If the country has no sub countries, returns undef.


=head2 all_full_names  (for subcountry objects)

Given a sub country object, returns an array of all sub country full names,
sorted alphabetically. If the country has no sub countries, returns undef.

=head2 all_codes  (for subcountry objects)

Given a sub country object, returns an array of all sub country ISO 3166-2 codes,
sorted alphabetically. If the country has no sub countries, returns undef.

=head1 LIMITATIONS

ISO 3166-2:1998 defines all sub country codes as being up to 3 letters and/or
numbers. These codes are commonly accepted for countries like the USA
and Canada. In Australia  this method of abbreviation is not widely accepted. 
For example, the ISO code for 'New South Wales' is 'NS', but 'NSW' is the  
abbreviation that is most commonly used. I could add a flag to enforce 
ISO-3166-2 codes if needed.

The ISO 3166-2 standard romanizes the names of provinces and regions in non-latin
script areas, such as Russia and South Korea. One Romanisation is given for each
province name. For Russia, the BGN (1947) Romanization is used.

Several sub country names have more than one code, and may not return
the correct code for that sub country. These entries are usually duplicated
because the name represents two different types of sub country, such as a
province and a geographical unit. Examples are:

    AZERBAIJAN : Länkäran; LA (the City), LAN (the Rayon)
    AZERBAIJAN : Säki; SA,SAK
    AZERBAIJAN : Susa; SS,SUS
    AZERBAIJAN : Yevlax; YE,YEV
    INDONESIA  : Kalimantan Timur; KI,KT
    LAOS       : Vientiane VI,VT
    MOLDOVA    : Hahul; CA,CHL
    MOLDOVA    : Bubasari; DU,DBI
    MOLDOVA    : Hrhei; OR,OHI
    MOLDOVA    : Coroca; SO,SOA
    MOLDOVA    : Gngheni; UN,UGI
    MOZAMBIQUE : Maputo; MPM,L

FIPS codes are not provided for all sub countries.
