This repository provides datasets with metadata for geographic entities (continents, WHO regions, countries/territories, etc.) with specified standards for codes and names, used for unifying data reported from multiple sources.
This is available as both an R package, which can be installed and used as shown below, and also as csv files that can be easily used outside of R.
