Does anyone know of any open-sourced modules for getting a user’s full country/region? Localization:GetCountryRegionForPlayerAsync() returns GB for me but I want it to be automatically converted to Great Britain, for example.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local LocalizationService = game:GetService("LocalizationService")
local Countries = {}
local success, result = pcall(function()
return HttpService:GetAsync("http://country.io/names.json")
end)
if success and result then
Countries = HttpService:JSONDecode(result)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local success, code = pcall(LocalizationService.GetCountryRegionForPlayerAsync, LocalizationService, player)
if success and code then
print(Countries[code])
end
end)

How can I get the country code from the actual name? [Ex: Canada → CA]

LocalizationService already does this for you automatically. The reason the HTTP request in the original solution is sent is so it can translate the country/region code to an actual country name (the reverse of what you want to do). Removing the HTTP to the website should have the effect you want.
Made a post about it awhile ago with working code for country codes, check it out if you’d like.

also yes, http requests are enabled :v

The only way you can fix this is by creating a module script with the countries convertion by going to country.io/names.json then copying and pasting it and converting it to lua easily.
Here’s how:
Create a script in workspace or anywhere that has this code:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local LocalizationService = game:GetService("LocalizationService")
local Countries = require(script.Countries)
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local success, code = pcall(LocalizationService.GetCountryRegionForPlayerAsync, LocalizationService, player)
if success and code then
print(Countries[code])
end
end)
Lastly create a module script inside the script called Countries or any name and make it contain this:
