On this page, in the "Country name" section, country name needs to be filled in. In the "Country code" section, a country code can be filled in. You also have the option to add clusters (e.g. state, regions, provinces) to the location. You have to seperate them by a comma if you add multiple clusters to one country.
Only .txt or .csv are accepted files for uploading. No duplicates will be created, if a country already exists the values of the file will overwrite the current country with the corresponding clusters. Each country and related clusters must be separated by a colon. Multiple clusters must be separated by a comma. Definition of each country must be in separate lines (without any delimiter). Example: US: Alabama, Texas, Nevada India: Asam, Goa, Kerala
In the example, two countries will be created if they don't exist already (US and India). The clusters will be added to the countries. If the country already existed, the existing clusters will be overwritten.
Note: Country code cannot be added via import and have to be added manually when needed.
To edit an existing country, you need to click the "Edit" button next to the country you want to edit.
