Where to place Rails seed data

ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-3, ruby-on-rails-3.2

Solution

The dedicated place is `db/seeds`

Problem

I wanted to know where the best place is to put seed data and more specifically seed files. Eg. I have a bunch of CSV files > countries.csv, states.csv, categories.csv At the moment, I'm storing it in my application root but it looks kind of messy. I've been trying to find out where people put their seed data. Thanks in advance.
