Extract and count countries and cities (+their synonyms) from text, like GeoText on steroids using FlashText, a Aho-Corasick implementation. Flashgeotext is a fast, batteries-included (and BYOD) and native python library that extracts one or more sets of given city and country names (+ synonyms) from an input text.

input_text = '''Shanghai. The Chinese Ministry of Finance in Shanghai said that China plans
to cut tariffs on $75 billion worth of goods that the country
imports from the US. Washington welcomes the decision.'''
