Support if you could type your location in.

It might have to be limited in length to stop people putting their full addresses in.
Good point.
Also to prevent giving information there should be that you can only type letters, and only 16 maximum characters.

16 characters isn't even enough for some country names. Maybe it should be 32, but there should also be a message telling you not to put personal information.

Okay, I mean you could only put letters and interpunction marks.

Support for the reasons you said, as long as they're reportable and there is a character limit.

Support, currently, I am a citizen of @-Kidonia-. So this would be helpful. Of course this may be abused. Maybe it would be better to have it like this:
United States-Kidonia.
That way people know that you are actually in the United States, but your micronation is just for fun!
I have seen a similar post, but I wouldn't exactly call it a duplicate.

Support,

The ST would put a filter and report button on it anyways, so I don't need to say ‘as long as’.

And like everyone said, a character limit, and only being able to type in letters would filter off giving too much info

Why not just add ALL the countries to the list?
Report button…..
It works for About Me, WIWO, all projects, forums etc…

That's like removing the bad word detector because there's a report button.
No, bad word detector is to prevent swears, it stops it, if someone bypasses it, then it's your job to report it.

For some reason one word is not blocked… I'm sure you've seen it.

Antarctica, About Me, or put your nearest Scratch-recognized country. No reason to add a bunch of custom countries, or have people type in their country.

PicoMetrics

No support. This seems hard to moderate.

-LekkerGames-

Full support. People could put things like Mars or nowhere, but sure. support.

-Quantum_Studios-

I would love this! I actually own a micronation.

Zoomer_X

If this were to happen, people could type in innapropriate locations or too precise ones. If this were to happen then the report option should look like this:

I did not actually report my test account

ResExsention

No support at all.

I see where the idea comes from but imo it's kinda immature and unneeded. Soz.

Det er allerede mange steder. Hvorfor trenger vi å legge til flere land? Det ville bare forsinket hele nettstedet

There are many countries in the world! We don't even know the exact numbers! And since the locations is reportable, Support!
