I am creating a Google Form, and as the final question I want to ask the participants what country they come from.
As it often comes up in polls, I am surprised that this country component is not available:
Is it hidden somewhere else?
Is it just not available, and I have to create it myself by entering 200+ countries manually or via programming? In that case, what is the best practice?

Just copy paste the following in your Google forms. The form dialog automatically creates new items when the pasted text contains linebreaks.
The following list is posted so that the future readers do not need to remove the numbers from the list provided by listofcountriesoftheworld.com.
Editor's note: the list below may go out of date as countries are formed or renamed. One can get the current version from the aforementioned site by scraping it with the Google Sheets command
Just paste it into one cell of a google sheets document, and press Enter.
