Thankfully I can use some of the other region results to "create" my own biased picture

Yeah when I had to come up with a way of grouping the countries it was difficult to do, so I divided it by how the UN divides it's regions of the world. Unfourtnuately this sometimes means first and second world contries are grouped together which is not always ideal. The same thing happens with the US state regions too. Ideally I would have been able to do it by city, but there just aren't enough people who are willing to participate to ensure a large enough sample in the various regions.

So, I expected that most would be able to do exactly what you suggested and create some educated estimates based on local experience.
