Membership by country

I know not everyone posts their location and I fully understand why, BUT

For those that do post their location, is there a way of generating membership by country statistics?

I'm sure the NSA has already compiled those figures. You can probably apply through the Freedom of Information Act to get a copy.

That is a *very* interesting idea. Put FOIA to work... Hmmmm

You can do a members search by location, here the link. Enjoy!

I was thinking something more like a script linked to a sticky... >>rolling eyes<<

there are clubs for those who wish to participate, perhaps a good jumping off point for your stickies idea. Perhaps by country and then sub regions for the larger countries.

I'm not sure, but the location field in the search is probably literal. So for example unless someone has put "Idaho, USA" for their location a search using USA as location will not find them.

So the idea of a script is probably the only way to get the real numbers for a country like the USA, since I've noticed a lot of the American members just put their state, or maybe town/city, and leave the USA bit assumed.

EDIT: Like you, Siguy!

Plus another 262 in "Australia" that gets us all a bit closer hey
So I think it definitely only searches the exact phrase used
