14.2 Country and Area Settings

[FearTheTJ]

It is possible that the country and area information saved on the Wii U will be expanded at a later date; as such, there may be cases where, when acquiring country and area information, you will receive a value that is currently undefined. (As mentioned in these Guidelines, the console's area setting is its location within the country, such as its state, province, or prefecture.) For example, countries 113-121 and 169 were added after release. In cases like this, an application must avoid malfunctioning by taking measures such as handling the country or area as unsupported.
Note:
In SDK 2.07 series, the function to acquire country and area information has not been made public. As such, applications which use SDK 2.07 series do not need to test for handling undefined country and area information.
