"metres"? Seems like an odd measure from the distance from a city. Perhaps km or miles?
Also, I suppose Denver falls under "Other US"? Seems like several disparate geographic areas are getting lumped together. Additionally, I think that "Great Lakes" is a subset of "Midwest" (Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, West Penn) and "New England" (East Penn, New York). I do understand wanting to separate out Chicago, though. Might I suggest "California, Northwest, Southwest, Central, Midwest, Southeast, Northeast"?

Well, it says "100m"

#7This isn't a very good poll because the groups are different things and sizes. Why don't you just do it by State/Province?
For example. I live in Toronto so I'm going to Select the Great Lakes, so are people in Waterloo, Buffalo, etc, etc all at the city level. On the other hand, you've lumped a bunch of countries together in Eastern Europe.
Also 100m is confusing because it refers to both metres and miles. I assume in your context you meant miles but lots of people with science backgrounds would assume metres.

#8Really? The closest category for Canada is "Other"?

You're right, all of North and South America aside from specific areas of the US are missing.
