Ok, thanks for the answer. So "Western Europe excl UK" is actually "Western Europe excl UK and Southern Europe" :)

How about this as a proposed breakdown: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmufGoZ--XWedHF...

Looks like a fair solution, but the problem remains with the OP - I'm from Italy, if I see "Western Europe excl. Uk" I tick it, but then I would also need to tick "Southern Europe" ;)

Central Europe = "Other" I guess :-/

Edit: Actually, for the purposes of this poll Czech Republic is "Eastern Europe", just don't tell that to a Czech person ;)

I used this as a basis (but had to shuffle around Northern countries to achieve a clean Scandinavia break):

You can't have a "western europe excl UK" and then a "southern europe". Italy and Spain are for sure in both categories.

Greece is in Western Europe, even though it's pretty much the southeasternmost part:

The poll says Australasia, which includes Papua New Guinea (pop 7.4M), the rest would be from the smaller island nations I guess
