I’m doing a registration form. I saw many registrations forms which asks you for a country and it lists all the countries of the world, and when you select a country the form is actualized with all the states or provinces, and when you select a state/province then the form is actualized with all the cities. I’m looking to do something like that, is there a free service or pay services that offers such a list (perhaps by tables or by web services) that I can look for? Thank you ---

Here is a US state list: [BigBold - Informasi Tentang Bisnis dan Marketing](http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/posts/show/1502) I suppose such lists are available from other free softwares… Rgds. ---

Thank you, I just forgot to mention that I need the global list, I guess there should be a web service or a company offering the service Rodrigo D.
