New Zealand. Sometimes we get lumped in with Australia. Sometimes the region is called Oceania or Australasia (the origin of both these terms baffles me). I checked "other".

Australasia is a region of Oceania. There's a good graphic at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Oceanias_Regions.png

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

In spite of that HN is very US centric and I fully expect the situation to be reversed by 5 PM GMT.

The similar Slashdot poll a week or so ago ('What would you prefer to be paid in? Dollars / pounds / euros / etc etc') saw a similar effect: pounds had a huge lead for most of the UK day until the US woke up and hammered the 'dollars' button :)
