I once did the demographics on this, starting with the Windows region
settings through to some site that lists the population of each country.
The biggest of course is the U S of A with ~4.5% of the planets population.
The other 10 or so countries that use MDY add up to a further 1% or so.
So, the tiny proportion is around 5.5%. And they think they own the internet
:-)
