Dude what are you talking about? It's there!
I just added it. Sorry for the oversight. "They" would be "Dan" who, as you saw, is having way too much fun this week.

littleguru More and more countries will follow DreamSpark in the next year. The service has just launched. Give us some time to add more countries. This information is also found in the FAQ.

Why isn't my location enabled on the map? Why isn't my country/region listed?
Well, it’s not because we don’t want you to be. It’s just because we don’t have a verification source for your region or country right now. We will be adding locations as fast as we can. So check back often to see if your location is enabled on the map or if your country/region is listed on the DreamSpark Student Status Verification page.

Yankee I hope it will be available for Romania too.
