So after seeing a lot of the threads here about demographics (age, gender and such), I was also curious about where the users of this forums are from.

I tried to make as many choices available as possible( short of listing all countries lmao) so forgive me if I missed the region you're from.
 
Do you mean: where are we from or where do we live? (It's probably be the same for most people but I just want to be sure)

Where you live at the moment, I guess I should have made it a little clearer haha

so where does the middle east fall in the poll?? :ROFLMAO:

It was tricky categorizing it, since parts of it fall onto Africa and others in Asia minor, and I wanted to go for a more continental and generalized approach, so I went with the option of people choosing the continent/region on the poll of the middle east where their country was located. Though I'll see if I can add it to the poll



EDIT: Added the middle east option,
 
I would suggest replacing Asia Minor and Asia Major to just Asia.

Asia Minor is also known as Anatolia and makes up of most of modern-day Turkey while Asia Major is a former name referring to the land East of Asia Minor/ Anatolia which we now know as modern-day Asia. Currently, Turkey is part of Western Asia.

Asia is the most populous continent on Earth with 52 different countries.
If you want to be more detailed, you could add CENTRAL ASIA (for Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan & Uzbekistan), EAST ASIA (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Mongolia, Japan, North Korea & South Korea), SOUTH-EAST ASIA (Brunei, Myanmar, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste & Vietnam), SOUTH ASIA (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan & Sri Lanka), the Middle East is located in WEST ASIA (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Cyprus, Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, State of Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, UAE & Yemen), there is also NORTH ASIA being only Russia.

Hope that helps somewhat. Considering Nintendo is a Japanese company, don't want Asia to be underrepresented. :)

The 7 continents of the world is Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Australia (Oceania is a geographic region and not the name of the continent) & Antartica.

Well most Nintendo players would probably be in countries where Nintendo games and merchandise are easily available primarily Europe, North America & East Asia. :unsure:

In regards to the Asia thing, I didn't want to make the poll have too many options as I said,and unfortunately I couldn't divide Asia in as many regions as I would've wanted, so I had to settle for minor and major (in part as well so that Russia was categorized in Easter europe rather than asia)

As for the name of the continents, I am aware of what they are and what they're called, but I didn't want to only put the continents as options and that is why I expanded the list beyond them alone, and for the continent of Australia, in many languages and cultures (such as my own) , it is called Oceania, which I included into this because I feel it better represents the region rather than just putting australia, as that could be misconstrued as meaning only the country. And I didntinclude Antarctica for obvious reasons.

Also, even if more nintendo players are "only" in the regions you mentioned, I wanted everyone who is from somewhere else to be represented , so that's why I didn't just put those regions and tried my best to I clude a few others within reason.

I see. Was just providing feedback. No harm intended. :)
 
Oh, no harm done, I didn't know I sounded mean I that post :O sorry if it came across that way
 
Got to admit, it's kind of shocking seeing how almost everyone is from North America! (That includes me)
Yeah, I for sure thought there would be more or less the same amount of north Americans and western europeans, but it seems I was waaaaay off
