Can't we use our USA-centrism (centricity?) to make the behavior of the country drop-down just a little bit better? Surely I'm not the only one burdened with having to scroll past a hundred of these .. ahem.. OTHER... countries.. to find "United States of America".
Yes, I could begin typing "Unite.." but we all know that ends up on United Arab Emirates, and then when I continue on to "...d Sta..." and it doesn't work, only to find out this country picker uses "USA" or something similar so it breaks the autocomplete muscle memory.
Clearly, if we're the center of the known universe, we could use our power to make it a little easier to enter my billing and shipping information.
That just pisses off everyone else on the planet - plus the other countries in the Americas that consist of united states, and who equally consider themselves "American" much as French people are "European"
I know you're joking, but ideally forms like that should put the current country based on GeoIP at the top; these long selects really are kind of annoying: sometimes I accidentally use the keyboard to do weird shit because I accidentally didn't select the browser, some JS dropdowns don't allow typing at all, naming is somewhat inconsistent for some countries ("Netherlands" or "The Netherlands"?)
I'm only half joking! Yeah, I've found some put your GeoIP'd country at the top, which should be the default behavior. That throws me off occasionally, too, but I appreciate it!
