Make a dropdown list invisible in C# MVC

Hi Experts,
I want to make the @Html.CountryDropDownList invisible. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

<div class="spacer-15">
        <fieldset id="fieldsetShippingAddress">

            @Html.LabelForRequired(m => Model.Company, T("Organization name").Text)
            @Html.TextBoxFor(m => Model.Company)

            @Html.LabelForRequired(m => Model.Address1, T("Address line 1").Text)
            @Html.TextBoxFor(m => Model.Address1)

            @Html.LabelForRequired(m => Model.Address2, T("Address line 2").Text)
            @Html.TextBoxFor(m => Model.Address2)

            @Html.LabelForRequired(m => Model.City, T("City").Text)
            @Html.TextBoxFor(m => Model.City)

            @Html.LabelForRequired(m => Model.State, T("State/Province").Text)
            <span class="wide-select-ie">
                @*@Html.StateDropDownList("State", Model.State, T("Select one").Text)*@
                @Html.StateDropDownList("StateId", Model.Country, Model.State, T("Select one").Text)
            </span>

            @Html.LabelForRequired(m => Model.PostalCode, T("ZIP/Postal code").Text)
            @Html.TextBoxFor(m => Model.PostalCode)
           
            @Html.LabelForRequired(m => Model.Country, T("Country"))
            @Html.CountryDropDownList("Country", Model.Country, new { onchange = "resetSelect('#State');", @class = "special-dropdown", title = T("Please specify") })
           
        </fieldset>
</div>

public static MvcHtmlString CountryDropDownList(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper,
		                                                string name,
		                                                string selectedValue,
		                                                object htmlAttributes) {
			var countriesSelectList = GetCountriesSelectList(htmlHelper, selectedValue);

			return htmlHelper.FacetDropDownList(name, countriesSelectList, htmlAttributes);

Hi Stephan,
Thank you for giving me the idea. The exact code didn't work but I put the drop down in a Div and applied the style you suggested and then it worked!!

<div style = "display: none">
@Html.LabelForRequired(m => Model.Country, T("Country"))
@Html.CountryDropDownList("Country", Model.Country, new { onchange = "resetSelect('#State');", @class = "special-
dropdown", title = T("Please specify")})
</div>
