I am looking for a list of countries and nationalities, against the top
level domain.
es:
..ar ==Argentina ==Argentinian
..al ==Albania ==Albanian
etc. etc.
any format it's ok
even better if it's already in the HTML select format:
<select name="country">
<option value="ar">Arge ntina</option>
<option value="al">Alba nia</option>
...
</select>
<select name="nationali ty">
<option value="ar">Arge ntinian</option>
<option value="al">Alba nian</option>
...
</select>
Thanks for any help

Well, if anyone needs them, I report the two html selects which I
eventually made.
Well, it's of course bogus, and shouldn't be used anyway, since you haven't
cited any reliable sources. But that was apparent from the off-topic nature,
wasn't it?
Please don't hesitate to post in future if you ever have a question or
suggestion about HTML authoring for the WWW.

Firstly you're trying to argue a general case by proving a specific
example, which is a logical fallacy.
Secondly "GB" is a geographical construct, a landmass, rather than a
political or governmental country. The country here is the "United
Kingdom" and includes both Great Britain and Northern Ireland (people
do get shot for this). http://www.number-10.gov.uk/output/Page823.asp
is probably supposed to be authoritative here, although I'm saddened
to see at least two errors on it: Wales is a principality, not a
country. Also GB isn't an island in a geographical sense (nor is
Australia) as it contains the capital city.

My point is:
The ISO-3166 code for the United Kingdom is "GB",
whereas the TLD code for the United Kingdom is "UK".
The code "GB" does mean United Kingdom.

The code for the United Kingdom is UK, as derived from the hashing of
the ISO-3166 country names list, as agreed by ICANN according to some
protocol that's no doubt defined somewhere I'm far too busy to go and
look up. GB is from the ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code, which is different
and simply wrong. That's ISO's screwup and no more than that. I don't
even think it's a UN screwup (they're supposed to be the canonical
source for ISO). As a past resident of (UK, ~GB) this gets political
-- ISO don't claim that GB is a separate country or that the country
of Ireland is "the Free State" (I have aged relatives who still swear
this is the case).
My point is that for the purpose of enumerating the list, IANA and ISO
are in agreement. The conceptual countries are the same set. It's
obviously not an entirely unambiguous set, depending on your politics
and whether you're applying routing tables or legal edicts. Is the
Isle of Man British, UK or a separate country under the protection of
the UK government? Why are Svalbard or Åland seen as separate
countries when the Channel Islands are only a region of the UK? The
list is perverse, but it's the same perverse list for both ISO and
IANA.
The code "GB" does mean United Kingdom.
Only because of some past craziness of ISO. One thing they're very
clear about is that "GB for ISO" certainly doesn't mean "GB the
political entity"

Yes. Maybe you should try looking for "rhetorical question"?
My comment was merely that Jukka had picked a hole in what Ubi had
posted, but didn't seem to offer anything in its place. This doesn't
lead to an interesting discussion.

One would think that the UK has representation in ISO and carries more
political weight over its own name than e.g. Taiwan. I wonder what the
real story is. I find it hard to believe that this could be an "ISO
screwup" without participation and preference from the UK itself at the
time of code assignment.

I have Countries in a drop-down list.
Any countries with more than one word are not captured properly in form
variables. Only the first word is captured to the variable. So, for
instance, if 'British Virgin Islands' is selected, only 'British' is
captured to the form variable.
Any thoughts on why this is happening?
