Add a further fourteen countries to the list.

Unlike countries that are installed with your software, you can change the names of added countries. However, regardless of whether a country has been supplied with your software or has been added at a later date, it cannot be deleted.

Setting up countries

Open the Settings menu > Countries.
To add a country, click Add.

Enter a unique name for the country. If the country is a member of the EU, select the EU Member check box.

Tip: The country code is automatically generated for you. Countries added to the list are identified by their two character code, which always begins 'Q'.
