At least you don't have to guess whether you're filed under 'UK', 'England', or 'Great Britain' four times (USB-style) before you find it.

(Yes it is usually UK, but often enough isn't to be annoying. There are legitimate reasons you might want to be more specific, but IME it seems to happen just at random, based on where the developer got a 'countries list', I suppose.)

Not to mention when UK sites, or sites that already know I'm in the UK, give me an otherwise alphabetised list with 'United States' at the top, and then even when I start typing 'Uni' make me go through UAE first...
