# Create Country

> **API operation:** [Open the endpoint in the API reference](https://docs.ordering.co/api-reference/#tag/countries/POST/countries)

Use `POST /countries` to create a country. The current public operation is `Country.register`.

If available, creation is restricted to role levels `0` and `1`. `name` is required; `code` and `enabled` are optional fields. See the operation guide for the complete request schema, authentication, responses, and errors.

## Legacy SDK example

```javascript
const response = await ordering.countries().save(data)
```

Confirm the SDK package and version before using this helper. This exact method/path match does not close field-level gaps.
