How many countries do you list first, though? I find those forms annoying - the US and Canada sit at the top of the list, but then to find the UK I have to go down and look near the United Arab Emirates or Uruguay or some such place.
But then, some forms have "Great Britain", others just "Britain" and some split us into England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It can take minutes just to find my country and I do wonder how many people just give up and never sign up or finish the check-out.

Usually I can type in the first few letters to have it skip to the country I'm searching for if they're listed in alpha order. I tend to type the first few letters to see if this works first but then if I use the drop down I see the unordered select few countries above this default. thaumaturgy also suggested a great alternative. Though in doing the autocomplete/alpha list, I would list each of Great Britain, Britain, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland so as to avoid the problem you describe.
