Default Country missing in registration page.

I had to choose Ecuador as country of residence since Peru is not listed on the user cp form.....why the hate?

Because we signed the Abandonware treaty to annex Ecuador back in 1998.


Nah

It's the forum software, there's quite a few other countries missing, which will be added when we can, it's nothing personal

The fools missed New Zealand, so I went for the closed place I could find. Which was, very unfortunately, considered part of Australia despite actually being closer to NZ.

Actually, it was Cascade Station, but I'll take it anyway.

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.
