The process of making something more rural, simple, or country-like in character or style.
From 'country' (rural areas) + '-fication' (the act of making). This is a modern formation paralleling 'countrify,' creating a noun form to describe the transformation process itself.
Countrification is what happened to many suburbs in the 1970s-80s when developers deliberately added rustic elements like split-rail fences and barn-style architecture to make new neighborhoods feel established and pastoral.
