No, I’m not talking about city or state, I’m talking about country. I know that we have covered the US of A, as well as Sweden. But still, there has to be members from other than those two countries, right? 😃 ---

Off the top of my head: lots from Ireland, the UK, Australia, another couple of people from Sweden, some in Germany, China (inc. Hong Kong), Japan, at least one each from Finland, Norway, Argentina, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, France. Sorry if I’ve missed anyone out! Have a look at some more threads and note people’s location. ---

Err… actually those buttons are swf files (???) and I have no editor for those. [when I added the free hosting to teemingmillions, I lost the ability to host subdomains on my own server, so I had to move [maps.teemingmillions.com](http://maps.teemingmillions.com) to [teemingmillions.com/maps](http://teemingmillions.com/maps) ---

I does live in Estonia. But I mainly just lurk a lot, so I’m probably not a real doper. Sometimes come out of the dark and kill a thread just to watch it die. Though I have noticed some people from Finland and Russia too. ---

I love those maps! So much hard work went into them and I can see how it would be a part time job to continue to update it. Here are a few new ones that I thought of off the top of my head. There’s a poster who is in Saudi Arabia (and not liking it) **Istara** who is in the United Arab Emirates. And there’s that nice girl from, I think, The Dominican Republic. ---

Hey, Beck, did you make the high school reunion this year? I didn’t. But I haven’t been to any of them or even the graduation, come to think of it. I live in the Trinidad part of Trinidad and Tobago, and spent the last two weeks in Guyana, Antigua, St. Lucia and Barbados. It’s a tough job, but _somebody’s_ gotta do it… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-does-the-dopers-live/152937.md?page=2)
