When you're working on an e-commerce site or the next great mobile app - all replete with visions of sugarplum fairies, ad stream revenue, and maybe even an eventual Google buyout — do you really want to spend time figuring out how to get a list of possible cities in the user's selected state?

Come to think of it, do you even want to worry about how to populate the possible states or regions in one of almost 200 countries?

Let GeoDB handle this grunt work while you spend time implementing what you actually care about.
