Answer 1

Here is a small python script to do just that. You would still have to edit some nations which are composed by several words.

file_name = "nat.txt"
with open(file_name) as f:
for line in f:
    for word in line.split(" "):
    print "(\'" + word.decode('utf-8').upper().encode('utf-8') +"\', \'" + word +"\'),"

it also takes care of unicode characters

and the final list:

Edit:

for languages you can use this:

file_name = "languages.txt"  #each word on a separate line
with open(file_name) as f:
for line in f:
    for word in line:
        print "(\'" + word.decode('utf-8').upper().encode('utf-8') +"\', \'" + word +"\'),"
