Comment (by mttp):

 What should be the requirements for countries that are listed as possible
 options? Listing all countries will make users mad when they choose a
 country with no exits. If the criteria were "All countries with an exit
 node," users might pick a country that had exits, but no exits that exit
 on port 80 or port 443. If the criteria were "all countries with at least
 one exit node that exits on 80 an 443", users might pick a country with
 only one really slow exit, and get confused when their circuits
 stall/fail. My preference is for "all countries with more than one fast
 exit according to
 [https://compass.torproject.org/#?exit_filter=fast_exits_only_any_network&links&sort=cw&sort_reverse&country=&exits_only&by_country&top=-1
 compass]". This would probably require that the possible country choices
 get updated at some point in the future as the network grows.
