On a percentage basis:

NA      42%
EU      37%
AP      16%
LA       5%
AF       0%

if I did the arithmetic correctly.  Just out of curiosity, how does
this compare with relative number of internet users in each region?
Note that I am not arguing for proportional representation -- I just
find the distribution interesting...
