I'd do it if I could fill out a "chess passport" of countries visited over the board.

One way of implementing this would to have a set of nation-oriented iconic trophies (bald eagle for the USA?) that you could either award to yourself - or chess.com could do it.
One problem you may not have considered: chess.com does not validate nationality. One of my opponents changed national allegiance between every move.

That's true, good point. Still, it would be cool to have a "trophy room" of captured battle flags.
It's Chess meets Risk....without the dice
Not sure why but this fact makes me smile. 
Has anyone else out there entertained the idea of trying to play someone from every country represented in chess.com? I decided to do it as not only is it my "male nature to focus on something like, "hey I like to collect all the different little flags," but it potentially could be interesting to expose myself in this limited forum to players from around the world. I guarantee that if chess.com proposed something akin to this it would be popular. Just a thought......I have many.....perhaps i should not let them escape.
