Finding a country

This is a message for every person in the world creating a form with a drop-down list to choose the country from: the country where I was born is called The Netherlands, and I expect it to appear in the list right between Nepal and Netherlands Antilles. I am not going to look at the H --- since Holland is only a part of The Netherlands ---, and neither do I expect it at the T --- if dictionaries would do the same, most entries would be found under the T!

Thanks!
