Hi @juliusphilip 
You can add it like this

<label for="customer_nationality">Nationality <span class="required">*</span></label>
<select id="customer_nationality" name="customer[note][nationality]" required>
    <option value="" disabled selected>Select your nationality</option>
    <option value="India">India</option>
    <option value="Albania">Albania</option>
    <option value="Algeria">Algeria</option>
    <option value="Andorra">Andorra</option>
    <!-- Add more options here -->
    <option value="Zimbabwe">Zimbabwe</option>
</select>

Please add it to the appropriate file like customers/register.liquid or sections/main-register.liquid
and update the nationality options as per you need

Hey @juliusphilip!

The code provided by @pawankumar looks to be a good option if you want to code this yourself into the registration form, however the main limitation here is that this value would only end up getting saved into the customer note.

If you would like to save the nationality value into more a useful place such as a customer metafield or the customer's default address country field, you would need to use either a custom or public app to connect to Shopify's API. One option for this would be the Helium Customer Fields app, which allows you to create custom registration forms to collect whatever data you want when customers are signing up.
