Nikki and I are randomly hacking on MusicBrainz when I became curious about the distribution about brainzers around the world. One SQL query later we have:
country | count
———+——-
fr | 1664
de | 1498
uk | 1031
dk | 746
ru | 670
nl | 454
pl | 409
ca | 348
au | 271
it | 270
This is compiled from email addresses of registered users that use their country top level domains. This obviously cuts out all the .net, .com, .org addresses, which is a lot of people. But this gives a decent idea of the reach that MusicBrainz has into the nooks and crannies of the planet. It turns out that we have members from 105 countries, which if we’re counting 238 country tlds, that comes to 44%. Wow!
Read on for the complete list…

34681 total verified

Thus 28.4% of verified emails come from country tlds. Very interesting as well.
202 norwegians! I’m impressed!
