I named myself SanTzu (the San are an indigenous people of South Africa, while Sun Tzu is a famous Japanese author). I kind of regret adding the za on the end, but that at least tells you that I have a terrible connection - 38 kb/s.
No, he is/was Chinese, not Japanese.

Feel a little bit.. tribal? Want to destroy the outsider?
It's how we're wired as people.
Tribalism is the bane of humanity, I have said it many times and its various manifestations (football teams, nationalism, ethnicity, etc.) do nowt to contrbute to our progress as a species.
Nonsense. Short sighted and ignorant nonsense. Cultural differences should be celebrated, not eliminated. Without our tribalist nature, some of the most beautiful and spectacular events, traditions and celebrations would be long dead, and the world would be a sadder place for it. The downside to humanity's innate tribalism is not that it exists, but rather that it causes distrust of the unfamiliar. This is a small price to pay, though, because it also causes fascination and curiosity, two of the most significant driving forces behind our progress as a species.

Then we should kick off ideologies too!
I mean, how many people died for those too?

For the existance of our species as a whole? Without human curiosity, the drive to explore, discover and understand new things, places and people, we'd still be sitting in trees and picking through our fur for lice. That drive is a direct result of our tribalist nature.
Death, war and strife are truly unfortunate things, but they're a result of a diverse world filled with thousands of unique and marvelous cultures.
A world without these things is a dull, homogeneous mass of people, all of whom think the same and live the same way, with the same beliefs and practices. That might be your dream - along with the dream of numerous less than pleasant dictators - but it isn't mine.

Ideological adherents are also practising tribalism. All in-group/us/them thinking is. And I included those in the billions that have died for tribalism's sake.

Sticking words in my mouth are we? Claiming I am like a dictator. I am never advocated against diversity, MERELY the division that it creates. I have lived all over the world, speak different languages and yet do not practise tribalism. Don't put words in my mouth.

You can say all you like that you support the diversity of culture, but it is tribalistic behaviour that creates and preserves human cultures. You seem to lack a fundamental understanding of cause and effect.

I think it's the for the sake of ease of identifying people you can communicate to and those who play from your area. Some "other games" tend to show you where people joined from, i.e. "Aplin joined the game from GB", for example. By that info you can judge:
- if you have a chance to have a good latency if will be playing together regularly.
- if you have a chance to talk the same language (it's unlikely that you will understand people from _TZ if you are _PL and don't speak any other language)
Also, as far as I know, an average Russian (~80%, I'd say) doesn't comfortably speak English, even though it's the most common foreign language to be taught in schools. (Please correct me if I'm wrong here!) So, adding the suffix is a good way to find those rare players you can actually talk to.
I recall seeing _JP and _HK players. And I don't feel any bad about it, vice versa - it could be a good topic to discuss during a game: say, I was on vacation in your country, or am planning to go and could use an advice, etc. Use it!
