# Author: Pieter Noordhuis
# Description: Simple demo to showcase Redis PubSub with EventMachine
#
# Update 7 Oct 2010:
# - This example does *not* appear to work with Chrome >=6.0. Apparently,
#   the WebSocket protocol implementation in the cramp gem does not work
#   well with Chrome's (newer) WebSocket implementation.
#
# Requirements:
# - rubygems: eventmachine, thin, cramp, sinatra, yajl-ruby

List of countries

This list served quite some people but someone else did a better job since.

Go to https://github.com/umpirsky/country-list for a list in your language and format.

List of nationalities

I've also compiled a list of nationalities
