iso-codes can give you this. It provides XML that you'll need to parse,
and gettext translations that you'll need to use via a specific gettext
domain.

Glom uses it, for instance in
get_locale_name():
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/glom/tree/glom/libglom/data_structure/iso_codes.cc#n99
(You could probably just take the whole .h/.cc files for that if your
application is GPL.)

Maybe we should have a real C++ API around iso-codes to make life
easier.
