in the method, 

        - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:
            (NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
            // You have an array of countries and track all indexes that are selected.
            // If the indexing is synced with the cell index, then 
            UITableViewCell *thisCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
            if (/* this index's country is selected */)
                cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
            else {
                // update this index's country to selected state.
                cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
            // you can keep an array of indexes, which cells/country is selected and store the status of selection in the array for further use.
            }
        }

To show the checkmark:

cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark

To clear the checkmark:

cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone

You can toggle this easily by testing the current value.
