This is in 5.6 (but was the same in 5.5.1).

My country profile property has a default set to Spain.  
My admin user has a country set to Spain.  
I have only Spanish and  English GB languages enabled on the site.

And still when a user registers, the country defaults to GERMANY??????

Any ideas?

there is an IP lookup for country built in. If the IP address is from a german internet provider or country, this might happen (or the database being used might be a bit outdated).

Hey Sebastian,
I'm located in Valencia and if I check http://whatismyipaddress.com/ it resolves to Valencia, Spain.  My servers are in the US.

Could it be a conspiracy? ;-)

Hey Simon, you may want to download latest GeoIP .dat file from http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecountry and replace your local one inside the \controls\CountryListBox\Data folder with it.

Thanks,
Renaming the GeoIP file got the field defaulting to Spain correctly.  I've now unpacked and copied across the latest file and I'm getting a default of Spain, although I'm not sure if this is from the IP or from the default.

Many thanks
