I converted the List of Countries to a lua dictionary, so this can be used in the future. I also added some functions to get country names and codes easily.

Example Use of The Module:
local theModule = require(15195750169)
print(theModule.getCountryCode("USA", "A2")) -- US
print(theModule.getCountryName(840)) -- United States of America (the)
Also if you are going to use the source code directly, i removed the countries names that have the [NE] and [NG] alpha 2 codes, you can change them manually. Roblox doesn’t allow me to type their names here for some reason
