				<title>Population and timezone for admin1 and admin2 names</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I'm creating a software calculator project, and I'd like my users to be able to convert between time zones using what they're familiar with: country, or city/county/state names.

So I need to convert from these places to the corresponding Windows time zone (gonig through TZID as an intermediate stage), and have been looking for a database online to do so, without success, until I found Geonames.org. The "cities15000.zip" file serves my needs for individual cities, but I also need to obtain the <b>population</b> and <b>timezone</b> of larger areas such as country, admin1 and admin2 names.

Is this info easily available in the database? I understand that a given country could be split into more than one timezone, but then an average, or a list of these timezones would be appropriate then.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ With the countrycode and timezone fields you can easily create lists of all timezoneids with the same country (adm1, adm2 etc) codes.

Best
