this is really cool, but how would you get a players country lol
Like:
localizationservice:GetCountryRegionForPlayerAsync(player)
oh i thought that was pseudo code mb
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalizationService = game:GetService("LocalizationService")
local maxRankingsToShow = 100
local rankingList = script.Parent.SurfaceGui.Frame.Background.Items
local statsName = "TimePlayed" --leaderstats
local valueData = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore(statsName.."_V3")
local countryData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Country_V3")
local updateTime = 45
local Cache = {}
local function getPlayerName(userId)
if Cache[userId] and Cache[userId].name then
return Cache[userId].name
end
local playerName = Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(userId)
Cache[userId] = {name = playerName}
return playerName
end
local function setCountryEmoji(country)
local code = string.upper(country)
local first = string.byte(string.sub(code, 1, 1)) - 0x41 + 0x1F1E6
local second = string.byte(string.sub(code, 2, 2)) - 0x41 + 0x1F1E6
return utf8.char(first) .. utf8.char(second)
end
local function updateRankingList()
rankingList:ClearAllChildren()
local success, topTen = pcall(function()
return valueData:GetSortedAsync(false, maxRankingsToShow):GetCurrentPage()
end)
if not success then return end
rankingList.CanvasSize = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, #topTen * 65)
for rank, data in ipairs(topTen) do
local playerName = getPlayerName(data.key)
if not Cache[data.key].country then
local success, countryValue = pcall(function()
return countryData:GetAsync(data.key)
end)
if success then
Cache[data.key].country = countryValue
else
Cache[data.key].country = ""
end
end
local country = Cache[data.key].country
playerName = playerName or "Unknown"
local rankingFrame = script.Template:Clone()
rankingFrame.Username.Text = rank .. ". " .. playerName .. " " .. country
local values = data.value
rankingFrame.Value.Text = values < 1000 and tostring(values) or string.format("%d.%03d", math.floor(values/1000), math.fmod(values, 1000))
rankingFrame.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,0,(rank - 1) * 65)
rankingFrame.Parent = rankingList
wait()
end
end
while true do
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
if leaderstats then
local statsValue = leaderstats:FindFirstChild(statsName)
if statsValue then
pcall(function()
valueData:UpdateAsync(player.UserId, function(oldValue)
return tonumber(statsValue.Value)
end)
end)
end
end
pcall(function()
countryData:UpdateAsync(player.UserId, function(oldCountry)
local success, country = pcall(function() return setCountryEmoji(LocalizationService:GetCountryRegionForPlayerAsync(player)) end)
if success then
return country
end
return oldCountry
end)
end)
end
pcall(function() updateRankingList() end)
wait(updateTime)
end
updateRankingList()
Heres the sourcecode buddy, you can clearly see its safe as it doesnt require any 3rd party modules, use getfenv, etc.

This is not true at all… You can easily re-sort the array man and edit the string.
Well, not an expert but as he uses some kind of extreme math that gets the nation and translates it into an emoji, you would have to change basically everything, as you need to put like:
Brazil = 
Canada = 
Etc. Etc.
That’s not extreme math. It’s not math at all
local function setCountryEmoji(country) -- country input example: us
local code = string.upper(country) -- US
local first = string.byte(string.sub(code, 1, 1)) - 0x41 + 0x1F1E6 -- unicode character for U
local second = string.byte(string.sub(code, 2, 2)) - 0x41 + 0x1F1E6 -- unicode character for S
return utf8.char(first) .. utf8.char(second) -- US unicode characters put together becomes 🇺🇸 which will be displayed as the flag.
end
Well, there’s still math, but why i meant is that he’s doing some complex mechanisms
