I parsed
this into a CSV (Needed city, state, and country to be in the same column) and then imported it into a Google Fusion table.
Google recognizes the last column as geographical data and allows you to visualize it that way.

That is correct. Google Earth has the ability to expand overlapping points if you click on them, but unfortunately Google Maps does not. There is a custom Javascript plugin for it that would do the job, but that would require me to have my own hosting option.
