Perhaps Micras is off to the east somewhere. Although we're probably too small to even be visible on that scale.

Nice map. But it doesn't include micronationalism. Ergo, I retract my former statement.

Micronationalism's bigger than Orkut.

I agree. They are a big piece of Internet...

PS. Were there any blogs? They are also a big piece of Internet...

Micronations? A big piece of the Internet? Wikipedia, which is on there as a smallish islet, has four million people. BoingBoing's so small as to be almost invisble and they get two million visitors a month.

All the MCS countries plus all the GSO countries combined, discounting Lovely's inflated figures, probably have less than a thousand people.

The blogs are down in the southwest.

And no, I don't have StumbleUpon. I used to use it but never got anything too good.
