There was an excellent article[0] in Smashing Magazine several years ago that dealt with some of the complexities of country selectors. For someone who lives in the UK, you never know whether a list will have United Kingdom, Great Britain or England in it (I've come across all three), and similar problems exist for countries that are known by more than one name (eg Netherlands vs Holland). And some sites break sorting by pushing certain countries to the top of the list and breaking sorting completely. There isn't a completely right answer, a standardised country selector might work in some (most) circumstances for most people, but what if my list needs Czechoslovakia or Zaïre? Then, a "simple" problem becomes much, much, much more complex.
