It would obviously be better to use reverse alphabetical order.

Actually, all countries should be present in alphabetical order; it
would be annoying for Uruguayans and similar to hasten to the bottom of

But, surely, a well-designed system will use cookies to remember the
most popular few choices, with code to put those at the top, then a
separator, then the full list.  Cookies could also remember popular
unlisted countries, such as Wales.
