Configuring for UK only sales?

Just getting my head around zencart and would like initial sales to be UK only, how do i prevent someone from checking out a sale from another country?

Create a zone for the UK. Then limit all your shipping and payment options to that zone only.

Build a Zone Definition for the UK and set the Details to ...
Country: United Kingdom
Zones: All Zones

and then add it to your Shipping Modules and Payment Modules ...

NOTE: if you want people to be able to Pay from anywhere, such as Grandma in the US wants to send little Tiny Tim a new crutch ... then don't add the Zone Definition to the Payment Modules ...

Well I drop them from the database table, then reload them if I need them.

If you don't lose the countries, a customer can still register an account in a different country, go all through the purchase process only to then realise you don't ship to their country. Save them the hassle by showing them you only take UK accounts on sign up.
