[Yuri Astrakhan]

You can use Sophox to pull this type of information, possibly just not all

Here's a query that will give you all first level country sub-divisions
(Canada in this case), as well as each province's Captial, Flag image, and
ISO codes.

(this query was modified from one of the examples Sophox has)
