## What it is
A Django application providing a CountryField model field with all ISO 3166-1 countries, translated country names, and static flag icon files. It includes integrations for Django forms, Django REST Framework, and graphene-django GraphQL.

## Use cases
- add a country field to a Django model
- populate a country dropdown in a Django form
- display flag icons for countries in templates
- serialize country fields with Django REST Framework
- expose country choices via GraphQL
- support multiple country selection in forms
- get translated country names for i18n

## When to choose
- you are building a Django or DRF project that needs country selection or country data
- you want ISO 3166-1 country codes with localized names out of the box
- you need flag icon static assets bundled with your Django app

## When to avoid
- you are not using Django or a Django-based stack
- you need country data beyond ISO 3166-1 such as states, cities, or postal codes
- you need a general-purpose geocoding or geography library

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: ui-components, internationalization, form-handling
- domain: web-development, backend
- platform: python
- tags: django, country-codes, iso-3166, flag-icons, django-rest-framework, graphql, localization, web-server
