How do I show all accounts in a selectList?

Hello team, 

I have this code:  
<apex:pageBlock>
              <apex:pageBlockSection title="Custom Picklist Using selectList and selectOption" collapsible="false">
                <apex:selectList value="{!selectedCountry1}" multiselect="false" size="1">
                    <apex:selectOption itemValue="INDIA" itemLabel="India"/>
                    <apex:selectOption itemValue="USA" itemLabel="USA"/>
                    <apex:selectOption itemValue="United Kingdom" itemLabel="UK"/>
                </apex:selectList>
                 
                <apex:outputText value="{!selectedCountry1}" label="You have selected:"/>
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:pageBlock>

Controller 
public String selectedCountry1{get;set;}

How can I show all my accounts in the selectList? I need an example of coding the method! 
Thanks in advance!
