Hello,

   I've put together a new fifa gem / library [1]
that includes all the world's football countries and codes
(incl. non-member countries and irregular codes).

  For example, to get a list of all countries use:

    pp Fifa.countries

  printing:

[#<Country @fifa="AFG", @key="af", @name="Afghanistan">,
 #<Country @fifa="ALB", @key="al", @name="Albania">,
 #<Country @fifa="ALG", @key="dz", @name="Algeria">,
 #<Country @fifa="ASA", @key="as", @name="American Samoa">,
 #<Country @fifa="AND", @key="ad", @name="Andorra">,
 #<Country @fifa="ANG", @key="ao", @name="Angola">,
 #<Country @fifa="AIA", @key="ai", @name="Anguilla">,
 #<Country @fifa="ATG", @key="ag", @name="Antigua and Barbuda">,
 #<Country @fifa="ARG", @key="ar", @name="Argentina">,
 #<Country @fifa="ARM", @key="am", @name="Armenia">,
 #<Country @fifa="ARU", @key="aw", @name="Aruba">,
 #<Country @fifa="AUS", @key="au", @name="Australia">,
 #<Country @fifa="AUT", @key="at", @name="Austria">,
 #<Country @fifa="AZE", @key="az", @name="Azerbaijan">,
 ...
]

  or to lookup England use:

```ruby
eng = Fifa['ENG']
# -or-
eng = Fifa['eng']
eng = Fifa[:eng]

eng.key #=> "eng"
eng.name #=> "England"
eng.fifa #=> "ENG"
# ...
``

  Happy data wrangling with ruby. Enjoy the beautiful game. Cheers. Prost.

Hello,

   I’ve updated the fifa gem / library that includes all the world’s
200+ football countries and codes (incl. non-member countries and
irregular codes) [1].

   What's news? Now you can also get the countries by continental
confederations (e.g. Asia, Africa, North & Central America &
Caribbean, South America, Oceania, etc.) or (sub)confederations (e.g.
Middle East, North Africa, South East Asia, etc. ) and more.

   Use:


Fifa.members( 'FIFA' ).size          #=> 211 members  -or-
Fifa.members( 'World' ).size         #=> 211 members

Fifa.members( 'AFC' ).size           #=> 47 members   -or-
Fifa.members( 'Asia' ).size          #=> 47 members

Fifa.members( 'CAF').size            #=> 56 members  -or-
Fifa.members( 'Africa' ).size        #=> 56 members

Fifa.members( 'CONCACAF').size       #=> 41 members  -or-
Fifa.members( 'North, Central America and Caribbean').size   #=> 41 members

Fifa.members( 'CONMEBOL' ).size      #=> 10 members  -or-
Fifa.members( 'South America' ).size #=> 10 members

Fifa.members( 'OFC' ).size           #=> 14 members  -or-
Fifa.members( 'Oceania' ).size       #=> 14 members

Fifa.members( 'UEFA' ).size          #=> 55 members  -or-
Fifa.members( 'Europe' ).size        #=> 55 members

# and so on

  Happy data wrangling with ruby. Enjoy the beautiful game. Cheers. Prost.
