geodata

Is there a way getting all countries, states,cities zipcodes/ in one single database.

I have been looking all over.

I discovered geonames.org, which has I guess all of the content. But there is no way to fetch that data directly.

I am using rails. If there any helpers or Plugins, it'd be great. It would be awesome if there is a complete resource in any parsable format which I can use to get this database in place.

Please recommend if you any thanks

I do have the iso country code list but no States for some countries.

Thanks in advance
