I suppose that I could make a request for a user with CheckUser rights (no Staff members on the GTA Wiki have this right, including myself) to perform a check to determine your IP address, and therefore your general location. Would you like me to do this? Please note that there is a chance that my request may be denied, as the tool is usually used for investigating multi-account vandalism.

As for how the minimum age got changed to 16, it likely stems from changes to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) laws in the EU, which now stipulate that users have to be 16 before they can provide personal data over the Internet without express parental consent: in most parts of the world the age is 13. Since Wikia do not provide an option for parental consent for data processing in their Terms of Use (similarly to Facebook, which also does not permit users under the age of 13 to set up an account (and presumably 16 in the EU as well)), users under this age are not permitted to set up their own account.
