## Combine country targeting with a sticky session

You can hold the same IP within your chosen country by adding a sticky session to the username. Append the country string first, then the session string:

* `billgates-country-us-session-1235469420-lifetime-15` — 15 minute sticky session with United States as the country

For the full sticky-session syntax and lifetime options, see [Regular Residential (rp.scrapegw.com) - Sticky sessions](/proxies/residential/sticky-sessions).

## Narrow down to a state or city

After selecting a country, you can target a specific state or city within it. See [Regular Residential (rp.scrapegw.com) - State and city targeting](/proxies/residential/state-and-city-targeting).
