List of c64-groups by Country...
For some reason I did some quick research on how many c64-groups there were in various countries. I couldn't stop, so I queried each country manually, only leaving out those with only one group (usually fake, such as China or Zimbabwe)
Some of the results are quite interesting I think:
Place/Country/# of Groups
1. Germany: 1269
2. Sweden: 496
3. Netherlands: 418
4. Poland: 417
5. USA: 404
6. Denmark: 376
7. UK+England+Wales+Scotland: 248
8. Norway: 227
9. Finland: 165
10. Hungary: 131
11. Australia: 116
12. Austria: 90
13. Belgium: 88
14. Canada: 76
15. Switzerland: 52
--- Italy: 52
17. France: 41
--- Turkey: 41
19. Spain: 28
20. Czech Republic: 18
21. New Zealand: 15
22. Argentina: 14
23. Yugoslavia: 10
24. Israel: 9
--- Croatia: 9
--- Slovakia: 9
27. Russia: 6
28. Ireland: 4
29. Luxembourg: 3
--- Peru: 3
--- South Africa: 3
32. Slovenia: 2
33. Latvia: 2
--- Serbia: 2
Germany as a winner was to be expected, but I didn't think it would be by THAT much. USA on #5 is a bit of a surprise. Denmark is extremely high IMHO, especiialy redarding the popularion (we'll get to that later! ;-), while the UK with all its Compunet glory is quite low IMHO. Australia is higher than I expected, while Finland is much lower than I thought.
Since the size of the country plays a role, i took the liberty to mangle together the number of groups per country with its inhabitants (taken from here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population
) to get the number of inhabitants per c64-group. If you're judging c64-affinity, a lower number is better here! ;-)
The List looks quite different now:
Place.Country (Inhabitants): Inhabitants per Group
1. Denmark (5.564.219): 14798
2. Sweden (9.440.588): 19033
3. Norway (4.966.000): 21877
4. Finland (5.390.100): 32667
5. Netherlands (16.693.100): 39936
6. Germany (81.751.602): 64422
7. Hungary (9.986.000): 76229
8. Poland (38.186.860): 91575
9. Austria (8.404.252): 93381
10. Belgium (10.918.405): 124073
11. Switzerland (7.866.500): 151279
12. Luxembourg (502.100): 167367
13. Australia (22.694.331): 195641
14. UK+England+Wales+Scotland (62.435.709): 251757
15. New Zealand (4415200): 294347
16. Canada (34.569.000): 454855
17. Croatia (4.290.612): 476735
18. Czech Republic (10.535.811): 585323
19. Slovakia (5.435.273): 603919
20. USA (312.112.000): 772554
21. Israel (7.759.300): 862144
22. Slovenia (2.052.970): 1026485
23. Latvia (2.218.800): 1109400
24. Ireland (4.581.269): 1145317
25. Italy (60.626.442): 1165893
26. France (65.821.885): 1605412
27. Spain (46.125.154): 1647327
28. Turkey (73.722.988): 1798122
29. Argentina (40.091.359): 2863669
30. Serbia (7.306.677): 3653339
31. Peru (29.461.933): 9820644
32. South Africa (50.586.757): 16862252
33. Russia (142.905.200): 23817533
(Yugoslavia ignored in this list since it doesn't exist anymore!)
As expected, the Country of Vibrants and Camelot reigns supreme! ;-) Sweden maintains its #2 place here as well, Norway and Finland take quite a leap forwards while Poland and Germany plunge in much the same way. USA takes a *huge* dive, so do France and Italy.
So, conclusions: Scandinavia (Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway) is very strong on c64, so is Germany, followed by the Netherlands and Poland, the UK and USA (RIP though)...
Now, I did this all by hand, but maybe someone more skilled with automated queries wants to do this with Sceners? ;-) And maybe correlate this with releases, to see how active the individual countries actually are?

enthusi: wow, i totally didn't know the stats page existed (and yes, i did have a look around! ;-) How do you find that?
Quite interesting, also all the other stats... I do wonder however why the numbers vary quite a bit from my numbers!
