If you have root access to your server it only takes 5 mins to download and install the db, it's a monster in size but other than that no issues.
Basically all I want to do is have user enter "City: when registering. This will load the correct State / Province / Area and Country automatically. I'm forcing them to be honest. So they can't enter that they live in Los Angeles, Alberta, Africa.

I think it's difficult to download all the stuff in local and how do you maintain? I think google map api is your best choice. What you can do is save the unique query( keyword and resolved lat,lon ) in database so that for popular places you don't always have to go to web service .

I know it's a monster database in size but I do not like the idea of using a service that's not on my own server. If it goes down then it affects my site so just curious if anyone has implemented it? I have the db setup and basic model / controller to test out queries, but my way takes much longer than the webservices version so just curious if anyone has had any success?
