You can use a script in the exit event of the field:

if ($.rawValue == null) then$.rawValue = "Put In Your Default Value Here"else$.rawValueendif

For your check and save button you then need a script that checks the value of the country field for the default value.
if (..country.rawValue == "Your default value") thenxfa.host.messageBox("Please select a country", "Error", 3, 1)endif
