You can just do this: <option value="usa">USA</option> or you can check in your onSubmit-Listener what the number is and then change the value which should be submitted:

function submit() {
  var select1 = document.getElementById('select1');
  var index = select1.value;
  var country = 'usa';
  if(index == 0) {
    country = 'usa';
  } else if(index == 1) {
    country = 'australia';
  } else if(index == 2) {
    country = 'cananda';
  }
}
