VBA to copy into a new workbook and save

I hope you can help. I have code below. Essentially what it does is, it opens a dialog box that allows a user to select an excel sheet, then it goes out to the country column (11) filters it, then copies and paste that country into a new worksheet names the new worksheet after that country then repeats the action for the next country.

What I want it to do now is instead of creating a new sheet and naming it. I want it to create a new workbook for each country, copying and pasting the information, and then saving and naming the new workbook to a folder.

My Code is below.

Any help is as always greatly appreciated. 

Sub Open_Workbook_Dialog()

Dim my_FileName As Variant

    MsgBox "Pick your TOV file" '<--| txt box for prompt to pick a file

        my_FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files,*.xl*;*.xm*") '<--| Opens the file window to allow selection

    If my_FileName <> False Then
    Workbooks.Open Filename:=my_FileName


Call Filter '<--|Calls the Filter Code and executes

End If


End Sub

Public Sub Filter()
    Dim rCountry As Range, helpCol As Range

    With Worksheets("CountryList") '<--| refer to data worksheet
        With .UsedRange
            Set helpCol = .Resize(1, 1).Offset(, .Columns.Count) '<--| get a "helper" column just at the right of used range, it'll be used to store unique country names in
        End With

        With .Range("A1:Y" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row) '<--| refer to its columns "A:Q" from row 1 to last non empty row of column "A"
            .Columns(11).AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=helpCol, Unique:=True '<-- call AdvancedFilter on 6th column of the referenced range and store its unique values in "helper" column
            Set helpCol = Range(helpCol.Offset(1), helpCol.End(xlDown)) '<--| set range with unique names in (skip header row)
            For Each rCountry In helpCol '<--| iterate over unique country names range (skip header row)
                .AutoFilter 11, rCountry.Value2 '<--| filter data on country field (6th column) with current unique country name
                If Application.WorksheetFunction.Subtotal(103, .Cells.Resize(, 1)) > 1 Then '<--| if any cell other than header ones has been filtered...
                    Worksheets.Add Worksheets(Worksheets.Count) '<--... add new sheet
                    ActiveSheet.Name = rCountry.Value2  '<--... rename it
                    .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy ActiveSheet.Range("A1") 'copy data for country under header
                End If
            Next
        End With
        .AutoFilterMode = False '<--| remove autofilter and show all rows back
    End With
    helpCol.Offset(-1).End(xlDown).Clear '<--| clear helper column (header included)
End Sub

This isn't complete but I think you want something along these lines, add a wokbook variable:

'Add this above the loop    
Dim wb As Workbook

'Replace where you create a new sheet with something similar to this
Set wb = Application.Workbooks.Add
wb.SaveAs Filename:=rCountry.Value2
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy wb.Sheets(1).Range("A1")

Hope that helps
