not all games are ala call of duty 4 based in a fictional middle eastern country.
Just look at the list here: medievel and stronghold take place in excisting countries

There's no reason you can't have a real location. There are just a lot of games that take place in an unspecified middle eastern country. If you want to add a particular location, request an addition.

Yeah, of course you can have real locations. But many popular games tend not to.

If the location is named, go right ahead.

There's no reason for a location not to have a name. If Bethesda can get away with being very clear that Washington DC has been nuked to oblivion (No pun intended) in Fallout 3, then I see no reason not to set your game wherever you damn well please.

Not all countries are as receptive as the US when it comes to having games / movies / TV shows set in their country, especially if you're going to be blowing stuff up / killing people.

If you look closely, you'll see that you're in Saudi Arabia.

I think we should.
Didn't SOCOM for the PSP have a location like this? ANd it might happen a lot in Call of DUty games and whatnot.
Just leave it, it will make no harm.
