Problem/Motivation

If following the instructions in the README.md for using the country field via Drupal Form API, the #required setting does not work. This is because the '#empty_value' is set the 'none'.

$form['country'] = [
  '#type' => 'country',
  '#title' => $this->t('My country'),
  '#required' => TRUE,
  '#multiple' => TRUE,
  '#empty_option' => 'Country',
  '#empty_value' => 'none',
  '#default_value' => ['BE', 'NL', 'LU']
];

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a custom form using Form API
  2. Add the field using the suggested code from the README.md file
  3. Try submit the form and it doesn't validate as being empty

Proposed resolution

Remove the #empty_value setting from the README.md or set it to ''.
