MethodNotAllowedHttpException means that you're using wrong HTTP verb ( Get, Post, Put, Delete ...). You've route defined for GET, but you may be posting data
The modification (as I assume you just want to retrieve the country names only) can be achieved by
$countries = Country::all(['name']);
this will only retrieve the names of the countries from the table, you can add more fields if you want to.
Controller gets a request, returns a response. You're not returning any response. just echoing the result. You can do the following,
return $countries;
This will simply return the JSON with country names.
You don't have to put an explicit slash at the front of route declaration. you can even write like the following and that will work too.
Route::get('goclozer/country','GoClozerController#getCountry');
