Default No Canada for country in profile?

I really don't want to put USA as my country in the profile. Can you please add Canada to the drop down box!?

No Australia either, unless there's something I'm missing...? How did any countries actually manage to get forgotten in that list? :confused:

Israel is missing too :/

I think it's because you also have to fill in the area, cities etc. so it'd quite a database to put.

There seems to be a problem with "Cities" field for Poland - many names are duplicated or triplicated with variant spelling and language versions (ex, under "Dolnośląskie": Breslau, Vrotslav, Breslavia, Wroslav -> all mean Wroclaw).

Also, in all cases the region ("state") names are unneccesarily included on the "Cities" list. "Województwo" means essentially the same thing as "state".

Same here for Romania. I do not care if there are Hungarians over here, I don't need/want to see Hungarian city names for Romanian cities.

At least the German cities are a mess as well. At first glance only cities I never heard of, the big cities i was looking for (Hamburg) missing...

I think it is way too ambitious to make the city a dropdown. Make it freetext - what are you using it for anyway? Why is it mandatory? I find it (just so) acceptable to make the country mandatory, but the city??
