Taking a quarter of an hour break between two jobs, I quickly did some number crunching on the country distribution of entries found in the Blue Board database.
Currently the database has 7040 entries, so I arbitrarily set the cut-off mark at 35 entries per county, i.e. any country with at least half percent of all BB entries is listed below:

Dear CSaba,
I read your topic with interest. Glad that you took the time to calculate this.

Chao,
Lucinda
