How do I Add A Selection List to settings?

I've got my first basic Alexa custom service working. Will query an rss feed with a hardcoded location (for now) parse the XML, and return the data based on the day either being today or tomorrow. (All working)

Now.... I want to expand on this a bit. My RSS Feed has data for only about 9 Counties and I'd like to have the user when they install the app, be able to select their county from a drop down list Example: In Flash Briefing you can add Briefing Content, or turn on off items.

So 1) How do I Add a Settings section to the Alexa app on the phone? 2) How can I restrict users to a limited section of names if they ask App give me data for {location} {date} ?

It's not really possible without implementing oauth. Then in the sign in/sign up process you could code in such a setting and that would be inline on the account linking webview. That being said, if you have a process you're comfortable with its probably substantially less hassle to implement than the alternative.

Changed Directions a bit, decided to go with User Accounts / Database & allowing the users to set their location.

Database was a bit of a pain to get working, but I can now have the users Set their location via voice prompt, ask for their data, or ask for the data for a different location.

Though I still wouldn't mind knowing how to add menus to the Alexa's skill card.
