fill in country list

[lucasgonze]

The countries in this list need to be real:

              <div class="controls">
                <select>
                  <option>
                    United States
                  </option>

                  <option>
                    Other Country
                  </option>

                  <option>
                    Other Country
                  </option>

                  <option>
                    Other Country
                  </option>
                </select>

Let's talk about how to do that - I'm not sure what the best approach is, and whether it's you or me.

I want to do that. I have an idea. I think basically we can make the list html or we can use some kind of existing library for this...I know that we should do the following:

Not list alphabetically. Use common countries, not all countries. Assume we start with US first.

I'll look for common lists.
