Hi Vitaliy,

Sorry for my late reply. Thank you for your tip. Works like a charm. I'll have to do some homework on Entities and Objects to learn how I can make the most use of them.

Standardly "Name" is the property of many entities which gives you the string:

Cases[EntityProperties["Country"], "Name", Infinity]

{"Name"}

So when this is the case then this works:

c = CountryData["Countries"];
EntityValue[c, "Name"]

But generally speaking Entity is just a function:

Entity["Country", "Afghanistan"]

so this always works:

c[[All, 2]]
