** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: software-center
+ 1. In Ubuntu Software Center, navigate to the screen for a purchasable item.
+ 2. Choose "Buy".
+ 3. Sign in to Ubuntu SSO if necessary.
+ 4. Open the "Country" menu.
  
  The payment screen in software center requires the user to enter their
  billing address. Country is a mandatory field; the list of countries is
  huge. It takes a very long time to scroll to entries near the bottom
  (United Kingdom, United States). I imagine a large number of users will
  come from relatively few places. For the convenience of the majority,
  can the list of countries be pruned or segmented? I imagine most users
  are not from, say, Bouvet Island - can we remove that or move it to the
  bottom of the list? (Bouvet isn't even inhabited...)
  
  For example:
  China
  France
  Spain
  United Kingdom
- United States 
+ United States
  -----
  Åland Islands
  Bouvet Island
  ....
  Wallis and Futuna
