Hello Stupidapplestuff,


You can change your Apple ID region by following these steps: Change your Apple ID country or region - Apple Support


"Use your iPhone or iPad to change your region


  1. Open the Settings app. 
  2. Tap your name, then tap Media & Purchases.
  3. Tap View Account. You might be asked to sign in.
  4. Tap Country/Region.
  5. Tap Change Country or Region.
  6. Tap your new country or region, then review the Terms & Conditions.
  7. Tap Agree in the upper-right corner, then tap Agree again to confirm.
  8. Select a payment method and enter your new payment information and billing address, then tap Next. You must enter a valid payment method for your new country or region.*


Should this not resolve your issue please share additional details about what you're experiencing. If you're looking to change a country code related to a phone number it would be necessary to work with a carrier.


Regards.
