You are probably going to say that this is not the right place for this issue about the web interface, but where on github is it?

The issue is as follows. When you select Spain (es) as the region to search, not only Spain (es) but also Spain (ca) is added to the last three regions used.

This is annoying but it gets worse when you select a different region, let's say UK, and yet another region, let's say Australia.
Now Spain (ca) remains in the last three regions used and it stays there while you never even selected it!

This behaviour is inexplicable and annoying and doesn't happen with Belgium, Canada, etc.. that have different regions as well.

After clearing the last three regions used Spain (ca) pops up again as soon as you select any region. Bizar!

BTW, my IP address is in Spain, some 1000 km away from Catalonia.

My proposed solution is to handle Spain just like Belgium, Canada, etc.. and solve any IP address errors or stop using the IP address altogether. After all: privacy first!
