How to convert the country_select's country code to country name?

This same question has already been posted on this link but hasn't been solved and I don't really understand the readme in country_select github page.

I hope you understand :)

Its given in the docs

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

 # Assuming country_select is used with User attribute `country_code`
 # This will attempt to translate the country name and use the default
 # (usually English) name if no translation is available
 def country_name
   country = ISO3166::Country[country_code]
   country.translations[I18n.locale.to_s] || country.name
 end
end

Here is the link https://github.com/stefanpenner/country_select#getting-the-country-name-from-the-countries-gem

UPDATE

In your SurfSchool model

def country_name
   c = ISO3166::Country[self.country]
   return c.translations[I18n.locale.to_s] || c.name
end

So anywhere in your controller or view 

@surfschool.country_name // this will give country name
