I have such problems may be since i joined faf a year ago. All people from my city have same problems. We either had yellow nothing or Romania instead of Russian flag.

PM Xinonny about it, he's in charge of the in-game lobby. Does this happen on FAF too?

I have had this issue since the IGCC tourney.. I got Someone to make a mod that would show my flag in the ingame lobby but in the FAF lobby it is not present..

I probably should have reported it earlier.. Apologies

I told about that to ZeP, asked about ability to manually change it. It was long time ago in chat. He said it's problems of geoip site FAF uses to detect the country and it's gonna be either abused by people to hide their real country or it's gonna be a lot of work for moderators. Or he will not do this work specially for a single person.
