The country library provides a data type for dealing with the set of countries as defined by ISO 3166. The representation is compact and is well-suited to use with vectors and primitive arrays. Additionally, this library exports functions that provide the following encodings and decodings:

• ISO Alpha-2 (two-letter country code)

• ISO Alpha-3 (three-letter country code)

• ISO Numeric (three-digit country code)

The main differences between this library and `iso3166-country-codes` are:

• it doesn't use an ADT to represent countries, instead it uses the country's three-digit country code.

• it doesn't use String for encoding/decoding

• it provides two-alpha and three-alpha country codes.

• it provides Prim instances from the primitive package to allow types to be used in unboxed vectors/arrays.

• BSD3 licence instead of LGPL

Please open up an issue on github if there is anything you would like to see added.
