If you make sure that you're using an NSLocale and not a Locale instance, you can use the countryCode property:

let locale: NSLocale = NSLocale.current as NSLocale
let country: String? = locale.countryCode
print(country ?? "no country")
// > Prints "IE" or some other country code

If you try to use countryCode with a Swift Locale Xcode will give you an error with a suggestion to use regionCode instead:

let swiftLocale: Locale = Locale.current
let swiftCountry: String? = swiftLocale.countryCode
// > Error "countryCode' is unavailable: use regionCode instead"
