No there are loads of choices from ASP to Zope.
But CGI is perfectly capable of what you ask, just
capture the data, submit the form and display the

And the country... If you are putting it on the web you may
have users from many countries accessing it. Something to
consider - even if its only with a US only disclaimer...
