every players osu! profile displays the country/territory they signed up in, and I found some very unique.

Norfolk Island is an Australian territory with only a population of a little over 2100, yet somehow four people who live in Norfolk island created an osu! account.

Eritrea is known as the "North Korea of Africa" due to it's extremely strict government, less than 0.5% of the six million residents have acsess to the internet. I find this even more suprising than the case of Norfolk Island is that 15 people have signed up on osu! from Eritrea.

These are the only two cases that I found shocking, I was bored so I decided to scroll through rankings.

I always thought of osu! as a game with only a few thousend players, yet small countries with populations under one million or war-torn countries still manage to have over thirty thousand players. I swear just two years ago I remember osu! being a small community.
Now every nation and territory on earth has an osu! player.

I think that's why I am so surprised.

I'm surprised how even the last territory on the list with only about a population of 40 has one player on osu.

worth mentioning that rudj is from jersey and was a top 50 player at one point. this country(?) has a population of ~100k people and 684 active osu players. and out of 684 people one of them has managed to reach the first page of rankings.

that is impressive in its own right
