It depends on the primary key you're using for Country. I use the ISO
code, others might use an auto-increment field. Either way, just check
that Customer.country_id is not empty and conforms to whatever kind of
PK you're using.

I just noticed that your field is "country" not "country_id". The
latter is the way Cake would expect it by default.

In your Customer's $validate array ...
'country_id' => array(
'rule' => array('custom', '/^[a-z]{2}$/'),
'required' => true,
'message' => 'Please select the country that you reside in.'
)
or, for integer PK:
'country_id' => array(
'rule' => array('custom', '/^[0-9]+$/'),
'required' => true,
'message' => 'Please select the country that you reside in.'
)
