It could be easier to show from what country or region you are in the profile, IMHO.
That way, someone reading some topic could react and say "hey, buddy ! we're neighbors !". Or something like that...
THere is so many countries, so many regions...
But it could be a GOOD thing to try organize something worldwide sometimes. An event, international event, that could go for a trip all over the world ? Members of SMA and scale model addicts can gather here and there ? Or maybe it's already done ?
