I'm curious, which Countries did you consider for Western Europe, and Which for Southern/Mediterranean Europe?

I also didn't know. I first voted for "Western Europe". And then I saw the "Southern/Mediterranean Europe" possibility and felt that it fits better so I voted for that one too.

On the other hand, if France isn't "Western Europe", who is?

By the way, a maybe simpler, and for sure more objective division could have been between "EU" and "Non-EU Europe"

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...

If you mean the British Isles (Ireland and the UK) then say the British Isles. UK is not shorthand for British Isles. Clue is in the name: United _Kingdom_ = monarchy, Ireland is a republic.

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

Ridiculous to include PNG.

The poll choices are indeed ridiculous.
