I'm fairly confident I can speak for Dazz when I say this but we're both pretty confident that it's an old server setting that allowed some of you to see it by mistake. I don't think he ever assumed anything malicious.
Edit: Also, I just looked into the region-specific console names issue a little bit more and I'm realizing it's a lot more difficult than I thought. I thought I remembered some PHP functions that could do this but from what I can tell, there's no way to get this information natively. It requires access to a geo IP service, the better of which are paid subscriptions, to match your IP to a database and return the country. Even the free versions that seem to be even remotely accurate require constantly updated databases that need to be maintained locally which seems like overkill for this particular situation.
