Review of some JQuery - I know something can be changed...

I think my if/else is rather clumpsy as it has some repetitive elements.

                   if (country.Name == location) {
                        $('#Countries').append($('<option>', {
                            value: country.Iso,
                            text: country.Name,
                            selected: true
                        }));
                    } else {
                        $('#Countries').append($('<option>', {
                            value: country.Iso,
                            text: country.Name
                        }));
                    }
