Getting home country and region

I would like to have a function like PGC.GetHomeCountryAndRegion() that would tell me the home country and home region of the player, for which a checker is executed.

I totally understand that the exact location cannot be exposed and already the county would fall under "data privacy violation". But country and region does not fall under "protection worthy data" even for something as sensitive as medical data (i.e. "Protected Health Information (PHI)").

And country and region of a player can already be found out e.g. via "Statistics/Top finders". It would make checker development easier, if a script could simply ask for "home country" instead of calculating a histogram to find the country with most finds.

I would argue that challenges that would just ask for home country or region could be easily cheated. Eg. If the challenge is "find 100 caches outside your home country"... A user can just change their home location on geocaching and viola, they qualify. It's much harder to cheat the place with your most finds, which is almost always where you actually live.

Also, not all users provide their home location, so that presents a major problem.
