Unless you simply omit the empty, descriptive option, you'll have to
use JavaScript - something like this:
<script>
function checkCountryCode() {
if (document.forms[0].countrycode.selectedIndex == 0) {
window.alert('Please select a country code.');
return false;
}
}
</script>
<form ... onsubmit="return checkCountryCode();">
...
</form>
