Viewing Countries and Regions
To view a particular country from the Countries and Regions section click on its name in the list. Once you do this, you will be brought to a new tab within the application where you can see that country's settings and the regions it has. To view the regions and their information, select the Regions section found under the Country Settings and you'll be brought to the list of every region made for that particular country.
Adding Countries
Note: when you add a country, its corresponding regions will be available for selection once that country is selected. For example, if Canada is selected as the country anywhere on the platform, you will only be able to choose from its constituent provinces and territories.

Note: you also have options here to input the Display Name of that country in whatever languages you support, its Sort Order (where its displayed in the list regardless of its alphabetical order), the Zip/Postal Code Regular Expression of that country, its Phone Regular Expression, and lastly, at the top, you can toggle if that country is supported or not.
Tip: by using countries you're able to configure the regions to suit your specific operating permissions and restrictions. For example, if your company is only allowed to receive payments from within one particular country's borders and/or can only ship within a certain region you can mirror these restrictions on your platform.
