Surprising data - The Top 50 Countries most interested in backgammon

Data research using Google Trends tool to determine popularity by geo-location i.e. searches for the term 'Backgammon' by country.

Some surprising results here..

USA only at #21 and the UK at #19, Turkey only at #49 etc.
..and I'm pretty sure you would not guess the #1 highest concentration first or even 30th time ;)

A hint on the numbers: A higher value means a higher proportion of all queries, not a higher absolute query count. e.g. a tiny country where 80% of the queries were for 'backgammon' will get twice the score of a giant country where 40% of the queries were for 'backgammon'
