[IxDA Discuss] 'Select Country' dropdown

[Billy Cox]

In filling out various web forms, I have noticed two interaction standards
specifically related to dropdowns in which the user selects their country of
residence.
 
1 -- List is alphabetical (placing United States near the end of the list)
 
2 -- Most likely selection(s) at the top of the list, with remainder of list
alphabetical.
 
Which one would you use and what would influence your decision?
