Enumerate countries in various languages ISO 3166 using Win32

Is there a way to enumerate all countries and their ISO 3166 codes using some Win32 API or similar? Preferably, in both English and German.

The Windows version you target is important, the NLS api was considerably improved for Vista. EnumSystemLocalesEx() is probably what you are looking for, it returns locales names as a <language> <REGION> string where language is the lowercase ISO 639 language code and REGION is the ISO 3166 country/region identifier. German or English doesn't matter, these codes are language independent. Have a look-see at the NLS api docs to see what's available.
