If I understand this correctly you have an object with zip codes and you have another object with country field and you wsh to populate this field with correct contry code looking at the zip code.

So, user will be entering the zip code in the lead Object from where you will choose the correct country code and populate on the Lead object..right?

Could you please elaborate on the flow..a bit confusing.

For those of us who do not know how to code, here is a solution you can easily configure using process builder and flow. 

We have built a free app that updates the County based on the value of the zip code on the Lead (it also includes a solution for Accounts and Contacts). Here is a link to the blog article that describes the steps on how to configure the app and also contains a link to the package to install in your sandbox: https://bluninjas.com/update-county-based-on-postal-code/
