Perch Shop Missing Country List - again

Hi guys

I am still experiencing the problem with missing country lists. I have created a new perch site from scratch, installed the Perch shop as per the instructions and have begun to work my way through the configuration steps in order as presented by the Shop app in the CMS. I have got to the stage of adding a tax location as per the instruction "Create a home tax location for tax calculation purposes."

I am using a WAMP environment on Windows 10.1 and my diagnostics are below:
