You can create Country objects directly under [Root] using NWAdmin. Country objects are optional and only required for connection to certain X.500 global directories.
The Country object represents the political identity of its branch of the tree.
Most administrators do not create a Country object, even if the network spans countries, since the Country object only adds an unnecessary level to the NDS tree. You can create one or many Country objects under [Root], depending on the multinational nature of your network. Country objects can only contain Organization objects.
If you do not create a Country object and find that you need one later, you can always modify the tree to add one.
The Country object has a two-letter Name property.
Country objects are named with a standard two-letter code such as US, UK, or DE. For a list of standard abbreviations, see also Naming Countries.
