title: retrieving a updated list of countries states and cities in a website
body: <p>I'm trying to create a User Registration page in ASP.NET and wondering what
  is the best way to get the list of up-to-date Countries and Cities? Are
  there any Web Services on the web that I can use to retrieve such
  information? If not, what are the options?</p>
  
  <p>Please, any suggestions and pointers will be very much appreciated</p>
