pycountry is the most complete free reference I was ever able to find:

pycountry provides the ISO databases for the standards:

639 Languages
3166 Countries
3166-2 Subdivisions of countries
4217 Currencies
15924 Scripts

The databases are imported from Debian's pkg-isocodes, packaged into pycountry and made accessible through a Python API.

Translation files for the various strings are included as well.
