In [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=442104&highlight=British+Commonwealth), the OP talks about a “country tag” under someone’s name that tells you which country they’re from. I haven’t heard anything about it. Does such a thing exist, and how can you turn it on?

I think the OP in that thread is just referring to the Location tag.

Yep, some people fill in the Location area to include country. Some leave it blank. Up to you, do what you like.
