I've just realized - one thing sadly lacking from this database is the country
each city is based in. That means clashes like 'Bedford' would have 2+
corresponding countries, but I can't easily list the specific country on top.

Also if people want to search for a time zone by country name, I can't use that
(and yes, for countries with multiple time zones, I'd at least average them out,
which is better than nothing).

Is there yet another database I can use to map these city names to their
corresponding countries?
