How to test NSLocale return value?

Question

I am using NSLocale to determine my current country and then pass it as an argument to my web service but i can't test other countries such as Africa etc. through this. Is there a way to test this? I am doing this to get the country name:

NSLocale *locale = [NSLocale currentLocale];
    NSString *countryCode = [locale objectForKey: NSLocaleCountryCode];
    NSString *countryName = [locale displayNameForKey: NSLocaleCountryCode value: countryCode];

Thanks,

From the NSLocale class reference

[NSLocale availableLocaleIdentifiers] returns an NSArray of strings of locales the device understands. Each of these can be passed to [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:aString] to give you a locale to test with.

That is a separate question - if my answer is correct mark it and create a new one – mmmmmm Aug 09 '11 at 21:28
NSLocale stores information about interface language and metrics. It don't have nothing common with reverse geocoding which you should use t find exactly user location. – Serhii Mamontov Aug 09 '11 at 22:58
