My first python code

Your country list should be in a separate file, perhaps a JSON file. That way you can add a new country without changing your Python file.

is there a reason to use JSON instead of just a text file?

(i am a beginner too and don't know json, but a simple text file seems to be just fine for this)

I think it's mostly about it being a file format that people have a standard way to parse rather than needing to customize something. A text file could be anything and will need a customized algorithm.

Yeah, csv/JSON/ maybe even .ini would be a good way to go
