If you are upgrading from a previous version, you should consider re-publishing the file by issuing:

Customizing database connection

By default, this package uses the default database connection, but it's possible to customize it using the WORLD_DB_CONNECTION variable in your .env file.

Countries restrictions

Countries can be restricted while seeding the database either by adding the ISO2 country codes in the allowed_countries or disallowed_countries array lists.

Supported Locales

A list of the accepted locales which relate to the localized lang/ files.

Modules enablement

The states, cities, timezones, currencies and languages modules can be optionally disabled.
Please note that the cities module depends on the states module.

Routes

If you don't wish to use the packages as an API service, you can disable all the routes by assigning false to routes.

Migrations

It offers the ability to enable or disable the database fields.
When changing this configuration the database should be dropped and the seeder should be re-run.
