Customizing merge field

Hi,

We are currently facing a problem with Address Field in Salesforce org.

As you know the address is comprised of one single field of data type 'Address' in Salesforce. Can I provide a pick list for Country part of this address field?

Problem is, as the 'country field' is a free Text field,the users tend to enter different version of a Country name while creating an Account or Contact manually.
For example in our database we have the following values for the same country.

NETHERLAND
NETHER LAND
NETHERLANDS
NETHERLANDS ANTILLES
NATHERLANDS
NEATHARLAND
NETHARLANDS

To get rid of this we wanted to make this this a picklist if possible. Can I create a new custom picklist field and use it inplace of the standard field? In this case how to get rid of the existing country value. Also we have some external applications writing records into Salesforce.

Appreciate any sort of help on this.

Thx.
