Battles are won by slaughter and manoeuvre. The greater the general, the more he contributes in manoeuvre, the less he demands in slaughter.

The way it works is every Wednesday (except this Wednesday - forgot to set it up on new server 
) we get an updated GeoIP database. Each time you login it looks up your IP in the database and saves the associated country to your account.
But even an up-to-date database is only 99% accurate and we have more than 99 members so this is bound to happen. I need to put an override mechanism in place so people can correct their country. It's on my to-do list

Agree, it's a way to avoid cheaters to not enter a game with people from the same country who joined the same day. Think it's better to have 1 out of 100 wrong than making it easier to cheat.
