Comment (by boonebgorges):

 Thanks for the link to the cities database. Unfortunately it's labeled CC-
 BY-SA, which is not compatible with the GPL.

 I've got to emphasize that I do *not* want the BP team to be responsible
 for maintaining an up-to-date database of countries/regions/states/cities.
 It's complicated, and outside our core expertise, and potentially
 controversial (is Sevastapol in Russia or Ukraine?). So, while 300x50
 doesn't sound terrible on the surface, I think it's an understatement of
 the amount of work that'll actually be necessary. If we can't find a
 compatible license or totally non-commercial service, I think this is a
 no-go.

 I know you don't like to hear this :) but it may well be that this is a
 task best suited for a plugin.
