    when(isoCountry.getIsocode()).thenReturn("US");
    when(address.getCountry()).thenReturn(isoCountry);

    return address;

           if( invocation.getMethod().getReturnType().equals(String.class)){
               return invocation.toString();
           }
           else{
               return Mockito.RETURNS_DEFAULTS.answer(invocation);
           }
       }
}
