Can retrieve the county or state name from the FIPS code for them
Making the branch changes as minimal as possible to add functionality

This PR aims to resolve issue #11 |
You can also use a two-digit state FIPS code to retrieve a state name. Useful if only the state portion of a FIPS code is known or within the system.

Exact matching might not be the best solution here. What if the data says |
I'm doing matching between the FIPS code and then the full county name. Since there can be 4 different ways to refer to a county name it would seem unwieldy to give all of those to a user doing a FIPS to name lookup. Do you think that returning all forms of a name with a lookup, rather than a singular string, would be preferable? |
