Method Detail

### isValidCountry

    public static boolean isValidCountry(String iso3166Code)

  Determine whether the country code is valid. The code is valid if it is null or empty. The code is valid if it is in iso3166.properties. If a locale is used for the iso3166Code, it will use the part after the '_'. Thus, this code does not support dialects.

  Parameters:
    `iso3166Code` -
  Returns:
    true if the country is valid.

### getCountry

    public static String getCountry(String iso3166Code)

  Get the country name from the country code. If the code is null or empty then it is considered to be DEFAULT_COUNTRY_CODE (that is, US). Otherwise, it will generate a log message and return unknown. If a locale is used for the iso3166Code, it will use the part before the '_'. Thus, this code does not support dialects, except as found in the iso3166.

  Parameters:
    `iso3166Code` -
  Returns:
    the name of the country
