How is your country represented in gaming?

Iran - Pure evil or terrorists in some games recently in call of duty and in the past in battlefield - Mortal kombax x

Its not. Only references. Metro, the first game, for some unkown reason, the 2nd metro station you visit, is called Riga, thats the capital of my country Latvia. So wierd. Very RARELY will a game include our flag as an option, you can imagine how annoyed i was at games like XCOM and what not, frick, mobile true RTS Art of War 3 has a latvian flag but these big budget pc games cant be bothered to include that.... the only game in the world that features our language in both audio and text form, is World of Tanks, made by russians. Dino D Day has a latvian character, Partizan, a resistance fighter. Might be some more references but i realy dont remember anymore, theres so few references out there of my country.
I nearly forgot. Command and Conquer Tiberian Dawn, 3rd GDI mission, where you unlock the Airstrike, Refinery, grenadier, silo i think, is set in Latvia, which i was very happy to see when i learned of it like 20 years ago. In Red Alert 1, one of Soviet missions i think, is set in Igaunia, which is our neighbour country, just tought to add. Outside games, there was this one anime in world war 2 where countries were personified into people, Latvia was sleeping on the table :/ reminded me of me.

is this about setting/location or the dev who makes the game?
but from dev i think most games made in indonesia is horror (also most movie)
other is like JRPG /adventure

if it's about setting, well that's really rare.
one is an old game, rainbow six maybe (i totally forgot). it's indonesian terroris i think (way before terrorist is mainstream)
also FC3 MIGHT be indonesian setting??just my feeling though. tropican setting, the people called rakyat (rakyat is people in indonesia), BUT they don't like indonesian at all (maybe in secluded island? there's literally thousand island in indonesia with hundreds of ethnic, language etc)

i think there's action? not sure though

Portugal, when it comes to our culture, nothing...nada.
Sone tracks, like lousada in WRC and circuits in racing sim like Estoril

If I go with the country I was born in, the U.S. is pretty big. I loved Death Road to Canada.
If I go with my parent's home country Vietnam, I can only think of war games, which I'm not really a fan of.
Thanks for sharing your username meaning.

Kazakhstan. In most games it's just another "EVIL RUSSIAN MILITARY BASE" (ERMB) that player has to infiltrate stealthy or guns blazing. Sometimes it's ex-soviet military base.
Games I played that took place in KZ:
Call of Duty: MW2 - third mission (ERMB)
Tomb Raider Legend - kinda ERMB
Splinter Cell Blacklist - one of the black ops missions, another ERMB
Ghost Recon Future Soldier - ERMB
Strider 2014 - that one is bizzare. It's Kazakh City with robots and shit, where you as Strider has to kill bosses. Kinda like it, made me laugh.
Metro Exodus - i didn't play that one, but watched it on youtube. One chapter takes place near dried up Caspian Sea and it all looks like a scene from a Mad Max movie (fuel, water, bandits, religious fanatics). It will probably look like it in another 20 years or so, but I like that part in the game. Another EVIL BANDITS' BASE.
Bonus: Beyond Two Souls. I think it said country of Kazirstan, but everybody looked more asian and spoke Chinese (I think). So it's probably "China", but you guessed it - another EVIL MILITARY BASE.

So if you'd like to visit me here - please, state the purpose of your trip to KZ as visiting military bases.

One of the games set in my country is Mankind Divided and oh boy. When citizens of Prague speak in that game, they all have weird Russian-like accents and majority of texts (like signs) are wrong.

As a Canadian... I guess we're the survival destination.
Either you're already here surviving, or you're heading there because zombies are freezing it's safer.

Czech republic: we have beer, becherovka and high criminality. No wonder we gave to gaming world Mafia serie. My favourite games set in czech are Vampire: The Masquarade - Redemption and Hobo: Tough life.

Mexico
It's either luchadores/wrestlers, wild west gunslingers or Aztecs.
I liked the portrayal of a semirealistic Mexico City in Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare.

Portugal.
I guess we only show up in stuff like Civilization, maybe, so... ^^

USA.
Basically this:

View attached image.

Brazil.
The country is gigantic and with a lot of diversified culture, places etc. For some reason, all we see in videogames are favelas.

Czech Republic.
America still sees us as a part of Russia, though we rarely appear in games because the western world doesn't know much about us, so that's for the best I think :D
There have been a couple of games that had one (or a couple of) level(s) set in Prague (our capital), but that's about it. A part of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is set in futuristic Prague which I'm honestly proud of, but I have yet to play the game so I can't tell you how we're portrayed there.

We have a few notable developers (the studios behind Mafia series, Kingdom Come: Deliverance or the Samorost games).

Every games with the Battle of the Bulge (COD, MoH,...) and every racing games with Spa-Francorchamps. My country is perfect for battle in the woods, and the only road without pothole we have xd

laughs in German

cries in German

Venezuela here... and my country is represented in only one word... Tropico :/
The few games that mention my country is always a crazy/corrupt dictator, and sadly... they are not wrong :/

It is really nice to see everyone topic talking about its own country. :D

Maybe because Scandinavians are the only advanced culture to survive the apocalypse ^_^

as for me im either a terrorist or shit country with nothing important but the old mystical civilization.
i dont really notice it much to be honest. the media project its creator POV, so i take everything with a grain of salt

EDIT: there are the Viking games, but they don't call out Sweden in it

Colombia here, I haven't played any games set in my country, but in movies we are either farmers or drug-related workers. I would love to see the representation of a "ñero" in a videogame, that would rock.

Finland.

Finland is rarely represented. Even the games made in Finland (Angry Birds, Legend of Grimrock, Cities: Skylines, Alan Wake, Lucius, Trine, Cities in Motion, De Blob, etc) are usually set elsewhere. But there's some recent instances that I can remember:

• Valkyria Chronicles 4: Norid Saarinen, sniper. Nature lover who was raised by wolves, likes to run naked in the woods with animals.
• Disco Elysium: Cunoesse, child. Curses in Finnish, is from 'the woods', does drugs, might have killed other children.
• Control: Ahti, janitor. Often speaks in gibberish, says perkele a lot.

All of this is pretty accurate.

Poland:

• playground for wars of big guys like Germany or Russia
• weird russian accent, kurwa as every 3rd world
• vodka
• Witcher games have slavic mythology (yes, most of the side quests are just slavic tales put into the game. I was rolling my eyes so much when playing some parts of the game, as it was boring for me), but it's not poland-specific

I don't remember any game that would actually take place in Poland.

Interesting topic. For Sweden, there are also Krater, Generation Zero and Unforgiving - A Northern Hymn

There are loads of racing games with a Swedish setting, like Dirt Rally, Dirt4, V-Rally, WRC xx, GT Legends.

Red Alert and Tiberian Sun are also said to be set in Sweden as I recall. Not that it matters much since hardly anyone would be able to tell but it's nice curiosity imho.

Edit: I just noticed OP already mentioned Generation Zero but in my "defense" I couldn't remember the name and had to look it up while typing.
