Problem could be CountryCode.
Check your model if it is an integer then it should be like

 public int? CountryCode{ get; set; }

You will have a model with two properties at least

  public int CountryCode{ get; set; }
  public string CountryName{ get; set; }

You have mentioned in your code as below

new SelectList(Model.CountryLists, "CountryCode", "CountryName"),

might be duplicat of : ASP .NET MVC Disable Client Side Validation at Per-Field Level

may be it helps: If your are using MVC4 and latest version you can write it as 

 @{ Html.EnableClientValidation(false); }
 if (Model.MembershipProgram.StsSignUpCountry)
 {
    <div class="form-group col-12">
       @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.country, 
      new SelectList(Model.CountryLists, "CountryCode", "CountryName"),
      "Select Country",
        new
        {
            id = "select_country",
            @class = "form-control"
        })
    </div>
}
@{ Html.EnableClientValidation(true); }

Just make value= false in web.config for ClientValidationEnabled

<appSettings><add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="false" /></appSettings>
