Earlier quoted context omitted.

Although many Europeans are at work and may not be on HN, I'd expect to see the most votes from Asia.

"Although many Europeans are at work and may not be on HN" Uhm, that's exactly why I'm on HN.

:) indeed.

I voted Africa, being from South Africa. When I clicked on the up-arrow, the number of points did not increment immediately. I had to refresh the page to see the new number of points. Poor user experience.

Sup buddy? Lagos Nigeria here. Are you in Capetown? I heard that is the SF of these parts.

I'm from Cape Town. Some parts of it might be like SF, but maybe not so much in the startup sense.

Cologne, Germany. I'm running a 3d printing workshop on the weekend here. If you're interested, have a look at http://dingfabrik.de/2011/11/24/3d-drucker-an-einem-wochenen... (same info in English at http://blog.reprap.org/2011/11/reprap-prusa-iteration-2-buil... ). There's only a couple spots left though.

That's pretty cool. Do you know of a similar place like DingFabrik in southern Germany (BaWü)?

Yes! Where are you? I can get you some contact info.

UK and "Rest of Europe", got to love this point of view :-) You might as well go ahead and say "UK" and "Europe", wouldn't be too far off the mark.

On a (loosely) related note, dividing Europe to West/East (perhaps Central) is purely political (it follows Berlin Wall[1]). For example, countries of V4[2] are in the middle[3] and yet they are called Eastern Europe. Another reason might be that most of the East is covered by Russia. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Wall 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visegrád_group 3. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co…

the division could also be based on the population density. in the west it's higher -> the east-west boundary is to the west..
