It just defaults to Afghanistan because it is the first one in the list. It doesn’t automatically detect your location and preselect the value for you. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to made it part of the bulk edit and having a system default

Thanks; is it safe to say when you create a company that as long as you choose US when creating the company, that it should choose that same country when creating user accounts inside that company?

I may have answered my own question; I just realized under the Admin account preferences, the country was set as Afghanistan, so that’s probably where all this started from in the first place. 

No, I think you are correct. It seems to default to Afghanistan in my testing. We have a new release which will default to the company’s country if it isn’t set which we plan on releasing tomorrow.
