List of countries/nationalities in F12016 (North Korea? Seriously?!)

Recommended Posts

Hello, I have a question to ask regarding F12016. When I wanted to set my nationality/region I realized that my country, Iran, isn't mentioned among the list of countries. And I was shocked to see countries like North Korea, Lebanon and Nicaragua!!!

Can you tell me that how many North Koreans have access to internet, gaming console and F12016?!

The only reason you mentioned Azerbaijan is because they're in the F1 calendar. Azerbaijan as a nationality wasn't mentioned in any of the previous games!

Iran, as the 18th-largest country in the world. With 78.4 million inhabitants, is the world's 17th-most-populous country. With the majority of them have access to both gaming consoles and internet!

I mean no disrespect or offense, but this is just stupid!

If it was a couple of years ago, I would've said it's because of international sanctions, but for the past year, they have been lifted as well.

So, my question is, why Iran is not mentioned in your game?!

There is north korea I would imagine because those who do escape from the awful country, may own a ps4 or xbox one or a computer and will want or play as their country. Or in another case people may just wanna mess around. Also Iran came 68th on the GDP chart last year so to put that into perspective they earned more than China one of the biggest economic powers! So I see no excuse for their country not to be on there. Althought the Iran government do tend to ban alot of games, however these are things like gta or particularly I remember battlefield 3

I don't think it's Codemasters job to keep up with which pariah nations are off the UN's persona-non-grata list! Also, Iran is not on the list of official Xbox One available countries (don't know or care about PS4), so stop the whining about Iran, for crying out loud man! You should know that Formula One as a sport is not swayed by a country's politics or religion, well, except when it comes to advertising (LOL).

i think codies could add some nationalities, but they have many nations covered that other games have'nt. I am ukranian and only a handful of games offer ukraine as a nation, even though it is the biggest countly to be fully in europe.  Also many other smaller european nations are represented, that did not made it in other racing games, so even though some countries could be added, in generals codies did a great job to include many countries to chosse from!

I'd like to know what codies base their nationality list on?

For example, the only carribean country you can select is Jamaica... when for instance Lewis Hamilton's often reffered to his heritage in Grenada (plus im pretty sure there has historically been no Jamaican F1 drivers or drivers of Jamaican descent - correct me if im wrong).
