I have my location slightly offset by a few miles -- so that nobody would kill me. XD

Technicaly I'm not lieing about it, I am from Europe and I have put my accurate location before in my profile. I decided to put "Somewhere In Europe" because I like Iron Maiden, so it's a pardoy of "Somewhere In Time" album.

And besides, it's not really hard to find out which country I live in, just scroll down the page or look at my clubs.

Oh, I do that too. But irl. I usually say my name is Karloosa and that I'm from Israel.

People always ask me about the war.

I don't see the point, unless you're claiming to be from somewhere lulzy.

I try to stay general, though, unless it's relevant to the conversation.

Aww good for you! :)

It depends who asks. Usually there does not seem to be any harm in telling the truth, someone would have a tough time axe-murdering you if they only know what country you're from. But if they seem strange i say Antarctica; it is close enough, whats 3,932 km? ^_^

I have no problems telling where I live. It has it benefits as I once received a birthday present from an online friend when they knew I couldn't afford an Ebay bidding. :)

Of course, I'd have to know you a bit before I gave out my exact address, but good luck finding me in Gilbert, AZ. Only "the center of [the] population of Arizona" according to Wikipedia.

Okay okay, yeah but only in jest. My profile here and anywhere else that will let me choose states Maihama Server which is a reference to the anime Zegapain.
But I've never 'claimed' to be from anywhere but Canada or one of it's various nicknames. Which of course, fall under the 'in jest' from about three sentences ago.
There's not much point in lying on the internets anyway. Most people won't know how to find out and about half* the people who can don't care. Half again probably won't even bother to call it on you.

Hell no.
I love my country. Not because we sell oil and life standards are high and we earn high salaries and almost everyone here has a Phd and drives a European car and lives in a 4 storys house and travels every summer, I love it because for me, it's my eyes to the whole world. People aren't too open nor too uptight. They're friendly and welcoming. Things are perfectly balanced-out where I live and I pray for things to stay like that forever. I also like summer and we have like 1 month of winter and the degree goes up to 50c sometimes!

Well, I normally mention from what country I am from, but I don't really specify. If anyone is truly interested in finding me then trace my IP, that is, if you can.
Generally I don't see the point in telling others my location as there's no need for them to know, because it's not like I'm planning on bonding, in that sense, with random folks I met on a forum board, etc.
The only reason why anyone could profit from telling where they're located is when they're trying to be part of a community where the main language is a different one than their mother tongue. It gives an excuse. But if you master the foreign language fairly well then there's really no point in telling others where you're from.

Hmm is it not sort of pointless to ask a question about lying to a person when there is no way to tell if they are not already a liar?

Granted I like to say I am from Canada for a reason, I'm damned happy to be Canadian, the home of the freer and the much braver.
While not technically anime, currently I am a big fan of Hatsune Miku.
At least I can go see her in concert.

Makes me think.

I work in an industry where we provide customer assistance to US residents. Being that English is not our native tongue, grammar and accent becomes a problem and some of our customers end up asking where we're located.

Unfortunately, sometimes just admitting which country you're from makes you a target of racist comments. At one point we've been told to say "we cannot disclose our location for security purposes."

I can see most of the answers here are "No, I don't", but I reckon that's because these people never had to lie. In our case, the industry we've been working in made lying about our location a necessity.
