IT'S A COUNTRY NOT A CITY

AND EVEN SO

Let me state my case for this.

Countries are gigantic landmasses, right? And there are at least hundreds of people, right?

"But they can check the IP address!!!!11!1111!!!!!11!!!!1!"

IP addresses for users with a legitimate account can only be checked by special wiki users. Not even the site's FOUNDER can check their IP address. The CheckUsers, as they are called, are a special group of Wiki users that have permission to check IP addresses in case of certain issues such as sockpuppeting or stuff.

More can be read here.

Also, it's completely optional.

Besides, if someone had the determination to search an entire country or even a city for you, chances are they either hacked or are pretty determined.

I rest my case in full support of this amendment.
