Normally you need to use an API to get a list of all the countries. But, this requires another HTTP request to get this information, below is a list of over 240 countries in JSON format which you can use to create a dropdown for all countries.
As this is in JSON format you can use both PHP or JavaScript to process the information and create the values in the dropdown.
Here is a link to the Gist that stores this content, or you can simply copy and paste the below JSON.
