Angry Dude Where's My Country?

Hi. As someone who has just joined Abandonia and gone through the whole process of creating a profile I would just like to point out one of this site's most glaring deficiency. Where in the country select country box is New Zealand? Not only did I feel genuine pain at having to put Australia as my country I had to endure the shame and disgrace of discovering that countries like Fiji and the Congo appear in the list of options while my own fine nation is excluded.

Anybody else run into any other crazy exclusions like this?

You're not the only one. Lots of people have found their contries are missing. Although how Studentis could miss New Zealand is beyond me.

For me, the simple fact that the site require you to enter a location when you register is an insult in itself...

Another New Zealander! Yay! Now, on a lighter note, set your location to Cascade Station. It's actually closer to New Zealand than it is to Australia, so it should be rightfully ours.

Nice idea, I think I will.

We should move all these country missing from list threads and sticky them. <_< In red. With exclamation marks.

Now that you've gone through the whole process of creating a profile maybe you could go through the whole process of using the forum search tool - we answer this question a lot

This is noticed. However i'm still stuck appearing as an Australian. This is, once again, painful.

Yes!! I remember Nick saying that he was actually from Russia, but had to choose Poland because there was no Russia on the list. I couldn't believe him and had to check by myself and he was right! How can anyone miss it? When you look at a world map and can't see Russia you really should make an appointment with your oftalmologist.

Also, I believe Nick is Russian.
He is. But they had to choose another location... Nick chose Poland for some reason.

You poor thing, it's too horrible to contemplate. Change to Malawi. Or Alaska.
