Answer 1

I believe the parameter you are looking for is location instead of country.

/me?fields=name,email,gender,age_range,picture,location

In order to query this data, you'll need your users to grant you the user_location permission.

This will give you value of the user submitted field - take note that this parameter might not always be populated since it depends on the user actually submitting this information - if they have not provided it - you will not be able to retrieve it.

The object will look something like this:

  "location": {
    "id": "112604772085346",
    "name": "Ramat Gan"
  },

Once you have the location object (which will most likely be a page), you can query that object to retrieve the country:

/112604772085346?fields=location

This will give you more information including the country.

{
  "location": {
    "city": "Ramat Gan",
    "country": "Israel",
    "latitude": 32.0833,
    "longitude": 34.8167,
    "zip": "<>"
  },
  "id": "112604772085346"
}
