 # Pycountry-Wrapper
 
-This is a wrapper for pycountry, to make said library more usable.
\ No newline at end of file
+This is a wrapper for pycountry, to make said library more usable.
+
+## Installation
+
+You can install the library by using pip:
+
+```bash
+pip install pycountry-wrapper
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from pycountry_wrapper import Country, CountryDoesNotExist
+
+germany = Country.from_alpha_2("DE")
+print(germany)
+print(germany.name)
+
+try:
+    does_not_exist = Country.from_alpha_2("EN")
+except CountryDoesNotExist:
+    # if the country wasn't found, this exception is thrown
+    pass
+```
+
+### Creating country class
+
+You can call create an instance of `pycountry_wrapper.Country` in three ways.
+
+Using **ISO 3166-1** with either 2 or 3 letters:
+
+```python
+from pycountry_wrapper import Country
+
+Country.from_alpha_2("DE")
+Country.from_alpha_2("DEU")
+```
+
+Or you can do a fuzzy search in a similar way:
+
+```python
+from pycountry_wrapper import Country
+
+Country.from_fuzzy("Deutschland")
+```
+
+Or you can pass a pycountry object in the constructor:
+
+```python
+import pycountry
+from pycountry_wrapper import Country
+
+Country(pycountry.countries.get(alpha_2="DE"))
+```
+
+### Accessing information
+
+There are only a handful (readonly) attributes.
+
+```python
+from pycountry_wrapper import Country
+
+country = Country.from_alpha_2("DE")
+
+country.name
+country.alpha_2
+country.alpha_3
+country.official_name
+```
