Yeah, good idea for the UK - maybe by county or something. Big maps will be needed for overcrowded countries, but first is to see - maybe only needed for UK.
On the other hand maybe instead there should be 2 fields, latitude & longitude so your location can be as specific as you want. This I imagine is what the Countryname would be converted to anyway for whatever map pin-pointing code was used.
A list could be presented for generic latitude/longitude locations of each country for people who don't know/care or are worried about privacy.
Here is a good site to find out your latitude/longitude - for UK it seems very detailed, right down to town/village level:
