You want to use ajax.

Add an event handler to monitor the selection change. When the drop down changes, get the current country and send the ajax request. When the ajax request returns update the DOM with jQuery.

Example view:

<p id="output"></p>

<select id="dropDown"><option>Option 1</option>
<option>Option 2</option></select>
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#dropDown").change(function () {
            var selection = $("#dropDown").val();
            var dataToSend = {
                country: selection
            };

            $.ajax({
                url: "home/getInfo",
                data: dataToSend,
                success: function (data) {
                    $("#output").text("server returned:" + data.agent);
                }
            });
        });
    });
</script>

Example controller method:

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    [HttpGet]
    public JsonResult GetInfo(string country)
    {
        return Json(new { agent = country, other = "Blech" }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }
}
