I looked again, and it seems the default US page does not require
creating an account, but if I switch the Region menu to "Slovenia",
the "create account" form is appended at the bottom and is mandatory.
If I click "Confirm and pay", entry fields of that part of the form
are marked with red and the text "this is mandatory".

Looks like a maze of rules...

Regards,
David
