Some cartridges require a list of supported countries for the site. For example, the AddAddress cartridge needs a list of countries to populate the Country drop-down menu. The list of supported countries is provided by the /atg/store/shipping/PermittedCountries component, and this component should be configured on a per-application module basis. The B2CStore application module configures this component as follows in the CommerceAccelererator/Applications/B2CStore/src/main/config/atg/store/shipping/PermittedCountries.properties file:
strings=\ CA, Canada,\ DE, Germany,\ MX, Mexico,\ US, United States
