Country\Collection

What it does

This collection class manages and retrieves country data from the database in Magento 2.

Developers use it to load countries filtered by store configuration, country codes/IDs, convert countries to option arrays for dropdowns, and determine which countries require state/region selection.

It's commonly used in checkout, address forms, and anywhere country selection is needed.
