Add separate UK countries (Scotland, Wales, England, Northern Ireland) to Geo list

There is only an option at present for all of the UK. It would be great if there was a way to target each individual country specifically.

Hello!  Thanks for this suggestion. This capability is not currently offered by our geo data provider, but it is a great suggestion.  the current workaround would be to include all of the counties (or shires) that belong to one of the UK countries and create a reusable segment.  You'd only have to do that once and would have the same level of targeting.

Thanks Jason. The solution we went with was to write a profile script which returns the relevant country depending on the users postcode:

var reScotland = /(AB|DD|DG|EH|FK|G|HS|IV|KA|KW|KY|ML|PA|PH|TD|ZE)\d{1,2}(\s|)\d[A-Z]{2}/i; var reWales = /(CF|CH|GL|HR|LD|LL|NP|SA|SY)\d{1,2}(\s|)\d[A-Z]{2}/i; var reNorthernIreland = /BT\d{1,2}(\s|)\d[A-Z]{2}/i;  if (profile.geolocation.zip) {      if (reScotland.test(profile.geolocation.zip)) {           return 'scotland';      } else if (reWales.test(profile.geolocation.zip)) {           return 'wales';      } else if (reNorthernIreland.test(profile.geolocation.zip)) {           return 'norther ireland';      } else {           return 'england';      } }
