If we decide to take this option, then we can avoid many of the downsides of freeform text by having an editable listbox - i.e. you can choose an entry from the list (which might be the ISO list), and are encouraged to do so, but if none of the options fits what you want to say, you can type your own. The back end would then see which you had done, and store an ISO country code in the appropriate field if what you had chosen matched an ISO name, otherwise that internal field would be blank. People typing their own names would then show what they want, at the risk of not being found in geographic searches. They can decide if that's a trade-off they want to make.
