How to get a list of country names based for each LocaleIdentifier?

Question

I need two NSArray one with all countries and the other one with the corresponding LocaleIdentifier.

Like:

  NSArray *countries = @[@"United States", @"Brazil", @"Spain"];
  NSArray *identifiers = @[@"en_US", @"pt_BR", @"sp_SP"];

So if anyone could lead me how can I get this programmatically or any other source I'd be thankful!
