I'm looking for something similar to facebook suggestion list with cities and countries. You can see what I'm exactly talking about when you try to create new event in facebook, click to add address, and then start typing in the City field.

I prefer finding working suggestion tool in jQuery(with the date), but database with city/country will do the trick too.

That's the database. It should be possible to work this into a jQuery tool pretty easily with (for example) one of the "autocomplete" plugins. It certainly should be easier than researching and constructing the database yourself :-)
