Before you change country make sure you have downloaded and backed up any purchases from your previous country's store. You will not be able to re-download them again once you change countries and it won't be easy to change countries to the previous one once you lose your payment method for the former country (as well as a wait period). As long as you have them on your computer you will be okay.

You should only be doing this change as part of moving to a new country. Some people just want to use the store in another country for access to certain materials but that doesn't work.
