Filtering through a Django Countries list

I'm trying to retrieve a list of tags that share the same name as a django Country. (i will be throwing it into my autocomplete search). What I have isn't working:

View:

from django_countries.countries import COUNTRIES
...

@login_required
def country_tags(request):
    result = {}
    tags = Tags.objects.all()
    countries = list(COUNTRIES)
    for tag in tags:
        for country in countries: 
            if country.name == tag.name:
                result[tag.name] = tag.name.title()
    return HttpResponse(json.dumps(result))

Can't quite figure out why this isn't working. Am I wrong to reference country.name?

COUNTRIES is just a list of 2 elements tuples - there is no name property. You should do something like country[1] == tag.name.

Here is a version that should work. COUNTRIES is a 2-tuple tuple.

countries_only = [x[1] for x in COUNTRIES]
tags = Tag.objects.filter(tag.name__in=countries_only)
results = {}
for t in tags:
   results[t.name] = t.name.title()
