Carmen is a Ruby library providing a clean API for querying countries and their subregions (states, provinces, etc.) using ISO 3166 data. It supports lookup by name or code, subregion traversal, and internationalized names.

Use cases

  • populate a country and state dropdown in a Rails form
  • look up a country by its ISO 3166 alpha-2 or alpha-3 code
  • get the list of states or provinces for a given country
  • resolve a country's official name and numeric code
  • build address forms with localized region names

When to choose

  • you need country/subregion data in a Ruby or Rails application
  • you want i18n-ready geographic names sourced from the iso-codes package

When to avoid

  • you need postal codes, cities, or geolocation coordinates
  • you need actively updated data or frequent releases
  • you are not using Ruby
