That won't work...
Ok, this solution is not perfect, but the only possible. Or do you want do
parse all i18n country strings of all 110 supported languages?
It also can happen that the user enter 'Gemany' in the combo box, so all
autoparsing will fail, but that shouldn't be our problem.

Oh an other idea, we could do a time journey back to the year when RFC2426
was discussed and request for a ISO code field in the address structure ;)

Ciao,
