Sean, click "not in the us", and then enter "Cityname, United States of America".
I got an e-mail from my good friend Kim Jong-Il about this, too. Apparently when he tried to add himself to the Bambi-lovers' frapper map, it told him that "Pyongyang, Korea" was invalid. He then tried "Pyongyang, Democratic People's Republic of Korea", and it told him that "Pyongyang, People" was invalid even though that isn't what he entered. He then tried "Pyongyang, North Korea", since due to its being hosted in the US, the Frapper site would most likely be under the control of Southern Korean seperatist propaganda trying to convince it that there were two Koreas. That was invalid. Eventually, he figured out that it was to be "Pyongyang, Korea (North)". How counterintuitive was that?
Poor Jong-Il. Now, if only there were a Frapper map of DPRK citizens. It would be empty.

That is one seriously braindamaged database.
