You don't have to, as soon as one option is selected you're variable
custcountry gets the value from <option value="Canada"> and the text
between <option value="Canada"> and </option> is being displayed.

<option value="Canada">Canada</option>
                ^         ^

If you have you're countries in a database you can let sql generate an
option list in stead of typing all the options. Something like this:

<select name="custcountry">
  <dtml-in "select_country(REQUEST)">
  <option value='<dtml-var country_field>'><dtml-var country_field></option>
  </dtml-in>
</select>

Where select_country is a sql-method like:

select
country_field
from COUNTRY
