I was wondering if there are any large available databases out there that contain frequently used information about general things like: all the countries, all the cities, all the football teams, all universities in US, all the movies from the 90s, etc.

It would be really helpful and timesaving if parts of these databases could be exported. I don't want to reinvent the wheel evey time I need a database with all the countries in Europe for example.

Is something like this possible?
What is the professional approach to this?
