use of Country enum

My website has it's own list of Coutries, held in a .txt file. For forms that offer a Country drop-down list, I read each line of the text file and populate an <asp:dropdownlist> with the values.

Now that I'm using NetSuite as the data source for my website, I'd like to make use of the enum Country, if possible. What I'd need is a list of the Names and Values of each country, i.e. "Afghanistan" and "_afghanistan".

Possible?

I've tried the follow two set of code, but both return only the _ value, not the display name. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just not possible? I know that within NetSuite when you look at a country list you see "Brazil" and not "_brazil", so can that functionality be replicated outside of NetSuite?
