I got the map faster than i thought i could. Here it is. I assume that my data is 95% accurate (i am guessing here).
Deep green means more usage and light green means low usage. It is interesting to see the second and third place usages. Notice that Canada comes in fourth.
earth.

In a small town with a fairly small college in it, and if I remember right, the Martin's lived in Lawrence, KS and ran a WWIV BBS system - Castle Ravenloft I think, but it has been a long time ago anad I may be mistaken.

Here is a little history on Guam for those that are curious: Guam was ceded to the United States following the Spanish American War in 1898 and formally purchased from Spain in 1899. Placed under the administrative jurisdiction of the U.S. Navy, Guam experienced many improvements in the areas of agriculture, public health, sanitation, education, land management, taxes, and public works. The U.S. Navy continued to use Guam as a refueling and communication station until 1941, when it fell to invading Japanese forces shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Guam remained under Japanese control until reclaimed by American forces in July of 1944. In 1949, U.S. President Harry S. Truman signed the Organic Act, making Guam an unincorporated territory of the United States with limited self-governing authority, which it remains to this day.
Ok the U.S. being number one that was a given, but I could have sworn that Canada was a shoo-in for the second place spot. Number four, how could this be?

Earth, nifty display  I'm curious how you got the sampling data for the number of players though. I must admit, I'm very surprised that France and South Korea beat Canada. I know a good number of Canadian players but have never played anyone that I know of from France or South Korea, heh.

Pittsburg. But I doubt if very many people who aren't from Kansas would have known where that was  I grew up in Kansas and have an aunt who lives in Pittsburg.

If it's based on attac registrations, then unless its localized, non-english speaking people aren't going to buy it. So there may be hundreds in Mexico, but none that use an english helper.
It's still quite interesting, nonetheless.

I played while stationed in Korea, Got a couple of locals interested. You would be surprised at the number of Koreans that speak (and read/write) excellent English
