As explained in this github issue - "ng-options track by and select as are not compatible" and shown in this fiddle

"you just can't combine value as label for collection with track by. You have to pick the one or the other.".

and in JS

$scope.country = $scope.countryList[0];

JSFiddle here for your case.

The value selected will be the object and not just the id alone.

Again the point is, you have to chose between select as label or the track by case.
