Connorg115, my understanding of the way this works is it uses you IP Address of your computer.

If you have a VPN or Proxy server that you use that is based in Sweden then that is what it will show.

If you are not sure just go to this site https://whatismyipaddress.com/

Have you tried using this site https://www.proxysite.com/ and selecting a US server and putting in the forum address.

If you flag does not change then there is something wrong with your setup I suspect.

Mine should now be showing canada.

You must work for IKEA

You can turn it off if you dont want it showing.
