It is odd that the Middle East is mentioned but not South America... or maybe HN thought WTH we will assume it is "US Other" lol

#42http://www.hackernewsers.com/ seems to have some information also.

#43I voted for "Other Europe", since Slovenia is neither Western or Eastern Europe. It's somewhere in the middle :)
Is it Southern Europe? It's right next to Italy, but doesn't extend so far south, and is barely a Mediterranean country. In any case, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece are what I'd call 'Southern Europe' more than west or east, although I'd say west if I had to pick one.
We always had the problem of putting Slovenia in one of the slots. If you ask me it's in Central Europe, but historically we ware always put in the Eastern part (but that probably has more to do with politics than geography).

#44Really? The closest category for Canada is "Other"?
Canada is an honourary member of Western Europe.

#45This poll is probably going to be influenced heavily by the moment is was asked, c. 8:00 in the morning in western Europe.

#46Good chunks of Scandinavia would consider themselves solidly part of 'Western Europe' and with 'Mid-Atlantic US' qualifying for a category it's surprising that the United Kingdom wouldn't rate a mention, I'd wager there are far more people from there active on HN than you might suspect.
Yes, in fact western europe tops the list with ~90 points and the day just started over here. I have the feeling that the american internet userbase seems so much overrepresented on the interwebs just because it's very loud.
EDIT: ops, I misread. I thought the thread was started 22 hours ago, not two. USA still has to wake up then.

Have the same issue with Poland. We need this damn Central Europe category so we can escape the dreaded "Eastern Europe" badge... And since we are in no way Western, Central is the only way.

#50Yet another enormously USA-centric poll.
