    The mysterious land of Tejas.

    On another note: Swedes and Finns. Swedes and Finns everywhere.

    Thank you! Doesn't help my statistics addiction though ;)

    Are these numbers based only on steam pre-orders or do they also take into account the kickstarted pre-preorders?

    EDIT : I read the not-so fine print --> Preorders from 23/07 to 21/10...

    I feel like the per-capita analysis is much more indicative of the country than it is of the fans. The total pre-orders chart is fun though.

    Does adding the pre-orders before the steam sale change that picture significantly?

    Prepare for it? Scandinavian domination has been here since NS1, and continues apace in NS2....

    I'm actually a bit surprised about Sweden topping the per capita and Norway being so high in it. Especially Norway always seemed to have an occassional player here and there, but I don't think I ever saw any sign of Norwegian community or anything in NS1.

    They need like 2 preorders and that's already 50% of the population.

    Yeah, and half the year it is dark so they don't go outside and play games 6 months of the year :P

    I'm also surprised, by the norwegian pre-orders that is. Sweden were always a powerhouse in NS, and in competitive gaming in general. We had a few norwegian teams during the early days (2002-2003) centered around a norwegian gaming community that hosted an NS server at the time. After that fell apart, it was as you describe; an occasional player here and there.

    Norway has always been weak in competitive gaming, compared to our neighbours, though, so I guess it's perfectly possible that a large number of norwegian players simply stayed as anonymous public players for the most part.

    There's Asia<i> and</i> South East Asia in the pie chart o.O

    Does 'Asia' here mean everywhere in Asia except SEA?

    You guys should make a Korean translation...soooo many untapped audiences.

    Trying to play the game in Asia is hard. Normally you gotta connect to servers in the US or Australia which gives you a ping of 150-300 in my experience :(

    So how about later on, when the game is polished and totally complete, you have an official server in East Asia for players in places like Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan?

    Koreans would get bored of the RTS. The game dosnt allow enough hot key groups, macs and drifters still have bad way points and just not enough commands to give to reach 100000 actions per second :P
