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.
