That's very easy to test. In my profile settings page I changed my country to North Korea, and the flag thumbnail is replaced immediately.
North Korea Player?

Oh, interesting. I see, thank you.
I played a guy with the North Korean flag and I asked him that. He said he worked at an embassy there. True or not, who knows ?

It’s configurable. It detects ip when you first create your account. (Friend was using a vpn set to america and so he had an account defaultly set to america). But you can manually change your flag in settings.

I am using North Korean flag because I hate nationalities. Since I couldn't find a way to play the game without a flag, I picked North Korean flag, because I know no North Korean is able to play this game. And it looks funny too in my view.

Quick question regarding the flag thumbnail that represents a player's location.
Is it based on IP address? or can anyone fake it somehow? because a lot of people said that you can't play against someone from North Korea and yet I played with this guy a little while ago.
You can change your flag in settings
I live in the US.

You can choose flags. Why North Korea is there, I have no idea.
