Field	Type	Presence	Description and constraints
$	object	Root	Stripe needs to collect certain pieces of information about each account created. These requirements can differ depending on the account's country. The Country Specs API makes these rules available to your integration. You can also view the information from this API call as [an online guide](/docs/connect/required-verification-information).
default_currency	string	Required within parent	The default currency for this country. This applies to both payment methods and bank accounts. Maximum length: 5000
id	string	Required within parent	Unique identifier for the object. Represented as the ISO country code for this country. Maximum length: 5000

You may need to enable some payment methods (e.g., [ACH](https://stripe.com/docs/ach)) on your account before they appear in this list. The `stripe` payment method refers to [charging through your platform](https://stripe.com/docs/connect/destination-charges).

Policy, approvals and errors

SDK function policy ID: stripe.getcountryspecscountry. Catalog operation: GetCountrySpecsCountry. Rules can name either ID; function rules distinguish managed calls and conservatively cover raw calls sharing the route. Existing grant permissions and policy rules apply. wait() returns an immediate result or waits for a required approval; it never approves the request itself. Persist the approval ID to resume after a restart.

Provider errors retain their response; JSON decoding raises ProviderAPIError for provider failures. ManagedOperationError identifies contract/input/retention errors. See error handling and provider-specific behavior. Sensitive input may be refused before approval storage. A decoding error never resubmits a write.
