Forget getting kicked out of Austin — Uber just got banned from an entire country. 。

The ride-hailing service is now blocked in Italy after a judge ruled Friday that it created unfair competition. 。

Unlike rulings in other European countries, where the use of UberX or the European version (UberPop) has been limited, Italy's ruling blocks all of Uber's services: UberBLACK, UberLUX, UberX, UberXL and UberSelect among them.。

Italy's taxi associations succeeded in winning the ruling after they brought a lawsuit against Uber to court. In addition to its ban against Uber operating, the ruling also prevents Uber from advertising in Italy at all.。

Thanks for signing up!。 Uber didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from 。Mashable。, but the company told。 Reuters 。

that they were "shocked" by the decision and planned to appeal.。

Uber's last major loss got us RideAustin — get ready for RideItaly?

UPDATE: April 15, 2017, 10:07 a.m. EDT 。

Good news for Uber: another judge ruled that Uber can keep operating until the company finishes appealing their total ban. So you can order an Uber in Italy again, for now. 。
