# Country Collections The `country` Default Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the countries available in your library. **This file works with Show Libraries, but has a Movie Library [Counterpart](../movie/country).** ![](../images/country1.png) ## Collections Section 09 | Collection | Key | Description | |:----------------------------------------|:--------------------------------------------------:|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `Country Collections` | `separator` | [Separator Collection](../separators) to denote the Section of Collections. | | `<>`
**Example:** `Germany` | `<<2 digit ISO 3166-1 code>>`
**Example:** `de` | Collection of TV Shows that have this Country. | | `Other Countries` | `other` | Collection of TV Shows that are in other uncommon Countries. | ## Config The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections: ```yaml libraries: TV Shows: metadata_path: - pmm: country ``` ## Color Style Below is a screenshot of the alternative Color (`color`) style which can be set via the `style` template variable. ![](../images/country2.png) ## Template Variables Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to make your own local copy. Note that the `templates_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults work. Any value not specified is its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored. All [Shared Collection Variables](../collection_variables) are available as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file. This file contains a [Separator](../separators) so all [Shared Separator Variables](../separators.md#shared-separator-variables) are available as well. | Variable | Description & Values | |:------------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `style` | **Description:** Controls the visual theme of the collections created
