I rely on an strict alphabetical list because I use the keyboard.
I live in Switzerland (which is one of the last countries starting with 'S').
What I do:
1. Press 'T' -> This will show Tanzania or Taiwan.
2. Press a few times 'Arrow Up' until I find Switzerland.
I guess if the most popular countries show up at the top, selection by
keyboard will not work.
