In Response To: 36% of listed candidates from USA! (Chuck Bower)

In the early 90s I would definitely agree and would even see a larger proportion for the USA. However, the bots have had a great effect on the game shifting the international demographic considerably.

Although USA is a very populous country it is not a continent, and 33% seems like an unrealistic share. I believe 20-25% could perhaps be justified as a fair share
