The form might be progressive enough to have a list of all the countries in the world (with it's largest demographic's up at the top) but then insists that you put in a Zip/Postal Code. Lots of countries do not require such a thing. Vanuatu for instance. It looks like at least one company (http://www.grcdi.nl/products.htm) has recognized this is an area of great confusion. http://www.upu.int/post_code/en/postcodes.html is free though. :) My favorite business rule these days (as a tester) is around the Zip / Postal Code.
