Why does America get states and UK doesn't get England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?
Well, we have states that are almost 3 times as large as the entire UK. If the pollster listed every region the size of Wales, this would be a very long list

Scrolling? You do know about / right? Just type /Belg (or Ctrl-f) to find Belgium.
Which browser?
it used to actually default to quick searching anything you typed (with / quick searching only links) but now you have to fiddle with an option for that.
ETA: in the spirit of the thread: I'm in Albuquerque, New Mexico, US. Which I've said before.

This is begging for a console.table console.table([...document.querySelectorAll('.fatitem table .athing')].map(el => [el.textContent.trim(), el.nextSibling.textContent.trim()]).sort(([,a], [,b]) => parseInt(b) - parseInt(a)))
Current top 10: 'US: California' '79 points' 'Canada' '48 points' 'US: Washington' '39 points' 'US: New York' '36 points' 'Germany' '35 points' 'United Kingdom' '34 points' 'US: Massachusetts' '19 points' 'Netherlands' '18 points' 'US: Colorado' '17 points' 'Sweden' '16 points' Colorado #9? Really?

Each US state is about the size of a European country, sometimes with similar population. That's one of the things that always comes up in polls of what surprised Europeans about the US when they visited - just how big it is.

Also the UK and Germany being about the same is interesting. Germany does have a slightly larger population, but of course the UK is natively English speaking.
Pasting this in dev console will give you a quick and dirty rundown. It sorts locations by points. [...document.querySelectorAll('.fatitem table .athing')].map(el => [el.textContent.trim(), el.nextSibling.textContent.trim()]).sort(([,a], [,b]) => parseInt(b) - parseInt(a)).map(a => a.join(' - ')) As of this post, California is leading, followed by other places w/ large tech hubs (Germany, UK, Canada, NY, Washington)
Now we need to divide the votes by the population of each place
