+title: "Country selector"
+---
+
+[Selectors](https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/blueprint/selectors/) has been expanded and now also includes a `CountrySelector`.
+
+Using this in [config flows](/docs/data_entry_flow_index#show-form) will allow frontend to automatically translate the country codes into the proper country names.
+
+Example:
+
+```python
+vol.Schema(
+    {
+        vol.Optional(CONF_COUNTRY): CountrySelector(
+            CountrySelectorConfig(
+                countries=["DE", "US"],
+            )
+        ),
+    }
+)
+```
