Using only one country

[chillout_buddha]

I want to use only one country. How do I do this?

One way is to delete all the countries from the Admin > Locations/ Taxes > Countries.

Is there another way so that I can simply "disable" the countries and not actually delete them from the database?

There is no way to simply "disable" countries, as there are many php references that call them.

Safest way is to manually delete them via the admin panel. It takes about 20 - 30 minutes.

You can also delete them via a SQL command via phpMyAdmin, but only do this if you know what you are doing.

I did the easy way. I duplicated the entire country table (just in case) and deleted all the countries except the one I need from the original. Took me 5 mins.
