Drop down list in laravel form - html

Question

I have been working to build a laravel form and for the fields where text input is required I have successfully created. The following part works.
<fieldset>
<legend><span class="number">1</span> Personal Information</legend>
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name *" value="{{old('name') }}">
<div>{{ $errors->first('name') }} </div>
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email *" value="{{old('email') }}">
<div>{{ $errors->first('email') }} </div>
<input type="text" name="phone" placeholder="Phone *" value="{{old('phone') }}">
<div>{{ $errors->first('phone') }} </div>
However, I want to make a drop down list of countries (and after this two or three other drop down lists). This is the HTML part of it. How do I use a drop down list in Laravel where the selected country will appear in the email I receive after the user submits the form?
<label for="nationality">Nationality:</label>
<select id="nationality" name="nationality">
<option value="select_nationality">*</option>
<option value="india">Afghanistan</option>
<option value="india">Albania</option>
<option value="india">Algeria</option> (includes all the countries in the list)
