You can specify a number of options before running SmartVA that are relevant to country implementation. The defaults are fine for some countries, but others will need to amend them (e.g. malaria endemic countries). Instructions to modify these options should be included in the documentation.
freetext, figures, version, legacy-format, and help are probably not relevant for these purposes.
Note: country text is given as an ISO Alpha-3 code (three letter abbreviation)
