 * Hi. I used your plugin to add the uk countries (Wales, Scotland, England etc)
   but wanted a way to now disable the United Kingdom option. How would I do this
   please?

 * Hi Stowbee,
    you can do that from the Woocommerce settings page, by setting “
   Selling Location(s)” to “Sell to specific countries only” and the selecting only
   the countries you want (excluding United Kingdom, in your case).
 * Please note that some gateways doesn’t allow you to use Wales, Scotland, England
   and Northern Ireland instead of United Kingdom.
 * For example, it won’t work with Paypal Pro, while it will work fine with Payapal
   Business.

 * Hi Daniele. Thanks for getting back to me.
    I imagine that solution would work
   but we ship worldwide so that will be a very long winded way to exclude the UK.
   I’d have to add every other country in the world! In the end, I commented out
   the UK, from the countries php file.
 * On another note. It won’t let me add a **standard tax rate** to ENG for example.
   Says it only allows 2 letter codes. How do I apply tax rates for England, Scotland,
   Wales etc? If I choose GB it doesn’t work for them. Please could you respond 
   asap as my site is due to go live tomorrow! Thanks.

 * Hi Stowbee,
    in the latest Woocommerce version there is a “select all” button
   which automatically adds every country in the world. Then you can just remove
   UK.
 * The second issue has probably to do with the way Woocommerce manage country codes(
   please note that my plugin only provides a backend interface for the function
   specified in the official Woocommerce codex documentation, it doesn’t change 
   Woocommerce behaviour).
 * Have you tried using a two letter code?
