Pre-populate custom picklist field on contact from account's custom field while creating a contact

Hi,
I have a custom picklist field - Country on both Contact & Account objects. Whenever a related contact is created from account, I want to prepopulate the value of Country from the Account on the contact object. As I am new to development, I would appreciate an elaborated guidance. Thanks in advance !

Using Trigger We can Solve this senario:

Write trigger on account ObjectTrigger accounttrigger on account(after insert){
   account acc = Trigger.New;
    contact con;
    for(account a : acc){
        contact c = new contact ();
        c.Lastname = a.name;
        c.country__c = a.country__c;
        c.accoutid = a.id;
        con.add(c);
    }
    insert con;
}
