(1) If you select only a country then it will be ignored -- an address is required for any of the address-related fields to be saved. That's necessary since it pre-selects a default country, but people will just ignore that area if it's not applicable, they won't go change the selection to blank. Is there a utility to selecting country only without address?
My site was inspired by your great link exchange system I want to show which country the site listed is aimed at. No problem, I shall just make another field and use that. Might be better doing it that way anyway!
Yeah, since the address fields are all grouped together under the address switch and you don't want geocoding or maps there, I'd say a new field is the way to go.
Instead of writing out the whole country list for submit/edit, you can use {COUNTRYOPS[{LINKTARGETCOUNTRY}]} (assuming targetcountry is the field) and I believe that will properly select from the country list.

First time I am trying out using the address, in particular the country field.
(1) It does not retain my selected country (United Kingdom) either on submit or edit
(2) Is it possible to change the first choice showing so it is United Kingdom, not United States of America?
