how do you remove your location?

Thank you! That basically worked and solved my problem, in that my location is no longer shown. In the interest of error-reporting, here's what happened:
When I went to my profile I changed "location", "state" (manual entry), and "country" all to "Japan." When I did this, I got this error (or something similar):
The page spit out that error but then reloaded me to the profile edit page and the info had all been saved.
I have now changed all of those values, one at a time, back to what I had them before (location = "US", the others are blank). The "location" field is the one that generates the error above, while the others did not. I changed that one a couple more times to see, and it always threw that error (or something similar - I have about 2 seconds to capture it before it goes away). I am guessing that the "location" field is mostly responsible for the generation of the code for the map on the side of your profile page? And that it was probably given a real location a LONG time ago (by me), and it only really updated when I manually changed the location again (post complete-server-change). If these assumptions are correct, I doubt it's a very widespread issue, and at least there is a workaround.
Anyway, hope that helps! Thanks again for solving the problem.
