Yes, use a MOD REWRITE for new URLs and then 301 redirect old URLs to new URLs.

#start .htaccess code
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /www.mysite.com/

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^country\=([^&]+)\&c\=([^&]+)$
RewriteRule ^$ /%1.php [R=301,L]

Hi,
try something like that:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^country=(.*)\&c=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/%1.php [R=301,L]
