Multilingual gazetteer in XML - is it interesting?

Question

Licenses for software and other works

The directory contains the names of 252 territories in five languages ​​(English, Russian, German, French, Japanese), official and de facto languages ​​for all territories (codes ISO 639-1, 639-2, and in especially severe cases - and 639-3 ), as well as an adjacency graph (with what other territories each of the territories borders).

All of this is in XML/UTF-8 and is currently being groomed. It was done ~ 6 years ago for the (not taken off) photo encyclopedia of the planet Earth, but it seems to me that someone can come in handy for other purposes (for example, to calculate in how many countries French is among the official languages, or where it is best to arrange the zombie epicenter apocalypse to cover as many countries as possible).

Does the public need such a thing? I assume CC-BY-SA.

UPD.Territory is a generalization of countries, island states under the jurisdiction of more than other countries, pieces of a special-purpose ocean (such as the British Indian Ocean Territory), etc. Basically, there are, of course, just countries, but to call everything that is there countries is not entirely accurate.
