Making Trade Interactions Better

In the spirit of site changes as was being discussed in a different thread, I came up with an idea regarding trade interactions and how we could make them easier. Alot of people state they do not like to do international trades, yet do not list where they are from. Others give no description at all so you get all excited about their inventory, offer a trade, then find out they are far far away.

My idea is to add a country indicator beside the username in the trade binder, like a small flag, so that you can determine wether or not you have a viable trade BEFORE getting excited about your inventory match ups.This allows for a smoother trade experience allowing you to skim through users by country, instead of posting and waiting on replys just to be met with disappointment.

Furthermore, with this indicator, maybe add a way to group users by country when doing trades, or an option that only considers users from the same country as yourself for trades.

I'd like to know what everyone else thinks about it, no way to really vote yay or nay here so just leave your comments and suggestions.
