From my opinion. As everything is already pre-made inside the actual system,flag, country rank, etc.
Step 1: Get Player ID
Step 2: Get Country Rank Where Player ID = Player ID
Step 3: Output
?
I know where are better was to he it, but this should not "require a huge amount of processing to get working."
I'm sure that this can actually be made in 30-60 seconds.
And when we are talking about processing power, that new feature that had been added "Country Rank" which even peppy says thats is "resource expensive", is being added into the game, but a simple web rank can't be added....naisu~

How much processing power can it take and what exactly takes so much?
Your country information is already available and there are country-specific rankings as well. Is there something that makes it different from global ranking database, other than the amount of them if every country has it's own?
I don't expect a dev to give every detail about this, but it would be nice to know if there still is an issue with implementing this, or if it's just seen unnecessary. According to Theo's post, the previous reply is from three years ago, things could change in that time.
If there really is an issue like the cost of additional processing power that stops this from being added, this should be [invalid] like any other request that's not worth adding. Having 1,4k stars isn't a good reason to not lock something and make people spend even more on it.
In my opinion, again, I think this is a simple cheap trick to make us spend our Stars and get nothing.
Just as you said, why not locking the thread...
And let make some math:
For each month of premium you buy you get 2 stars.
The thread have 1400 stars.
1400/2/12=
58.33 Years of Premium invested in this simple feature.
