Geopolitical

Geopolitical models ready to use!

gem "geopolitical"

DB Pattern

Nation > Region > City > Hood all with:

• Names (with i18n and sanitized version)
• ISO codes and abbreviations (Nations & Regions)
• Hierarchy (Hood.first.city.region.nation.abbr # BR)
• Languages
• Geometries
• Postal codes
• Phone codes

Two letter code: BR, DE, UK, US...

Region/Province state code: BR-SP, BR-RJ, BR-MG, US-NY, US-WA, US-CA

Areas and points.

With the help of phonie, it's now easy to two way map entities and phone codes.

Great for address validation and form pre-population.

require 'geopolitical/models'

• Nation -> Country
  • Region -> State/Province
    • City -> District/Microregion
      • Hood -> Zone/Neighbourhood

Each must be inside the former.
