Which continent are you located? I understand there is large numbers from the US.
The purpose of this pole is to determine the numbers of CPFer's per capita (percentage of the population).

I will run the poll for 2 weeks, and compile the results, based on rankings. The population will be based on the figures from worldatlas.com.
http://worldatlas.com/aatlas/infopage/contnent.htm
BY POPULATION 2005 est.

#1 Asia - (3,879,000,000)
#2 Africa - (877,500,000)
#3 Europe - (727,000,000)
#4 North America - (501,500,000)
#5 South America - (379,500,000)
#6 Australia/Oceania - (32,000,000)
#7 Antarctica - (0)

Based on a participation of 97 members in the survey, Here are the results.

1) Australia/Oceania (58.91%)*
2) North America (31.14%)
3) Europe (8.89%)
4) South America (0.71%)
5) Asia (0.35%)
6) Africa (0.00%)
7) Antarctica omitted**

* The results are based on per capita of CPFer's on each continent.
CPFer's divided by population, the decimal figure was then converted to a percentage figure.

** I have omitted the result of the 2 votes for Antartica, as i have doubt to the authenticity. If you are happen to really be from Antartica, let me know via PM so i can correct the results. :)

Disclaimer: These results reflect those who have chosen to participate in the survey, and may not reflect the true demographic of CPF.

Funky, no Central America. Although, technically, "America" can be considered a single continent... :nana:

Norm, I know of at least one CPF'er in Antartica (I've sent him stuff there.).

The seven region model is taught in the US, Canada, and Australia. The six region model using "Eurasia" is used just about everywhere else. I guess it just depends what continent one is on. :shrug:

Thanks, I would like to see how we Australia does in per capita ranking, compared to the US, which appears to win hands down on shear numbers.
