April 6, 201412 yr We recently did a recount of the population by country of our community membership. Here are the top twenty countries our members come from:
April 6, 201412 yr Interesting. Looks about right factoring in each country's population, demographic, social/economic culture. Brian Green
April 6, 201412 yr Interesting. Looks about right factoring in each country's population, demographic, social/economic culture. As a % of population, the figures are quite interesting 01. Netherlands 02. UK 03. Switzerland 04. Australia 05. Sweden 06. Canada 07. Belgium 08. Germany 09. USA 10. France 11. Italy 12. Poland 13. Spain 14. Ukraine 15. Russian Federation 16. Philippines 17. Brazil 18. Pakistan 19. India 20. China
April 7, 201412 yr As a % of population, the figures are quite interesting I always find Per Capita numbers more interesting. By population China, USA and India are always on top but Per Capita gives a better idea of how productive a nations citizens actually are. For example, in the last summer Olympics Jamaica had the highest medal count when you break it down per capita and USA and China score quite low per capita. It shows how much harder each Jamaican athlete had to work to reach the podium with less people behind them to support them, which is quite an impressive feat.

April 7, 201412 yr English language proficiency is one factor for some countries in Asia. .............. As well as access to some of the "toys" or "entertainment" that many of us take for granted!
April 7, 201412 yr I'd like to see more 'English language proficiency' in here, let alone Asia. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org
April 7, 201412 yr Hello Tom, If you want to know something about potential custumers per country, then your given numbers are useful. If you want to know how great the interest in Flightsimulation is in percentage of the population numbers (so less commercial interest), then I suppose the Netherlands score is remarkable. This also is a fact when you talk about : biggest harbour, biggest airport, biggest airlines, greatest investors in the USA and not least : happyist people in the world etc. Meanwhile you could gess that my nationality is Dutch. All the best and please continue AVSIM as you do now. Ben Rikken Ben Rikken, The Netherlands
April 7, 201412 yr The Dutch are the happiest people in the world? ..... By jove I know some right grumpy old Dutchmen! (and I call them friends :wink:). I'd say the happiest nation in the world is Bhutan , an independent Himalayan kingdom. Because they are the only country in the world who (formally, not as a joke!) measure GDH (Gross Domestic Happiness) in place of GDP. Google it if you don't believe me. :smile: As for the AVSIM stats, very interesting, both Tom's total numbers and the % of capita. They're about where I'd expect them to be, except that there always seems to be loads of Canadians on here, yet looking at the stats, there aren't as many as it appears! ....maybe the Canadians are just getting a bit more extrovert these days, eh? (Ducks!) :lol:
April 7, 201412 yr Moderator The top three don't surprise me at all, these are the most active communities so far in most Flight Sim forums I've been on.
April 7, 201412 yr Avsim users as a % of population by region (based on the top 20) Oceania - 1 Avsim user per 5,152 people North America - 1 Avsim user per 8,884 people Europe - 1 Avsim user per 11,033 people South America - 1 Avsim user per 56,626 people Asia - 1 Avsim user per 308,080 people What can we learn from this? It's a lonely old road in this wonderful hobby of ours, but us people in Oceania have a better chance of bumping into somebody in a "regional" pub who enjoys this hobby. More locally, if you are in Canada you have a better chance than if you are in the USA. Overall masters of the top 3 users as per Tom's post? Definitely the UK with 1 Avsim user per 4,621 people compared to figures for the US of 1 Avsim user per 9,412 people. In other words, you are twice as likely to meet somebody in a UK pub who has heard of Avsim. Besides, the beer is better !! But the place for a beer to discuss Avsim? That has to be Holland and Amsterdam as the Dutch simply have too much spare time on their hands at 1 Avsim user per 3,426 people :lol: :lol:
April 8, 201412 yr Oceania - 1 Avsim user per 5,152 people And we should be the host of the next Avsim Conference...Give everyone an excuse to come to New Zealand. :zeland-flag: Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
April 8, 201412 yr And we should be the host of the next Avsim Conference...Give everyone an excuse to come to New Zealand. :zeland-flag: Yeah .......... during the filming of Peter Jacksons "The Dambusters" !!
April 8, 201412 yr Welly or Blenheim? We can leave the significant others to spend up down on the water front or at the wineries... Mike Dryden
