If the indentation has semantic significance, you shouldn't need to
say "country" or "state" or "town". I suggest this format:

USA:
    Alabama:
        Abbeville
        Addison
    Arizona:
        Apache Junction
        Avondale
        Benson

and then, as Paul suggested, write a simple parser to read it.
