Fill EditorFor Field

Question

I'm trying to fill a editorfor field with a default value. Please help

My Code:

<div class="editor-label">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Country)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Country)
</div>

The model is created by entity framework throughmy SQL database.

Why not just use the model's constructor?

public class CustomerViewModel
{
    public string Country { get; set; }

    public CustomerViewModel()
    {
        this.Country = "Default value";
    }
}
