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??

Personally, I don't find it acceptable to have those kind of information required. If this was any other site than Abandonia, I'd skip registering altogether.

I agree. Where they got this forum?! :mad:

I agree. Just make it free-text. As for its mandatory-ness... I personally don't have any troubles revealing the city I live in, but it should be optional for the sake of others (you can pick a random city if it bothers you for the moment, though ).

I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and had to pick that obscure Svalbard and Jan Mayen place (I think NATO has an airbase there ) as my country doesn't show up at all (but the Faroe Islands and Moldova do, for some reason).
