I think this would have to be managed country by country. Probably cities
could be extracted from somewhere with some ZIP code or equivalent where
it's used (for example, only five years ago the postal service started using
postal codes here). The same Telefonica from Spain (kinda monopoly) reigns
in several countries in South America AFAIK so with some luck and patience
one would be able to find the web site in each country and extract area
codes.

It seems you will have to wait for FB2 + new INTL to complete the
experiment.

A nice project I visited years ago and now I'm glad it has some
contributions from my country, too:
http://www.confluence.org

Had I been more fortunate to enjoy a decent health, I would have contributed
with photos, but the fact is, I become utterly sick when traveling more than
a few kilometers and it has been the same since I was a child. As a result
of that, my physical position is almost as predictable as the location of a
big tree.
