Congratulations to all 40 winners. India heads the list with 10 MVPs, closely followed by the UK with 8. Griff lists his country as Wales, but I upgraded him to the UK for statistical purposes. Sorry Griff. The USA, as always, has 5 rock star MVPs too - U S A, U S A! Yeah! Germany has 3 MVPs, and no other country has more than 1.
Out of the 40 MVP awards, 38 went to humans, and two went to groups/organizations.
Canada has 0 MVPs. We tried to reach out to a few of them for comment, but they were all busy ice fishing and randomly saying 'aboot'.

Now recompute it relatively to the number of members from the same country...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Israel would do well, but the US would all but disappear.
I've got no problem with Israel doing OK, and...
Hmm. Seconded.
[edit] Oops! I somehow managed to reply to the wrong message. I'll add a quote of the one I meant to reply to, to clarify that.

Well done everyone. Sean's going to be earning some major frequent flyer miles here and he's definitely going to be getting some funny looks going through security with the mankini hand-luggage.

I thought his CP staff badge gave him diplomatic immunity at airport security checkpoints.

So, for statistical purposes, is Chris Maunder from Australia or Canada?
Are the statistics by country of origin or country of residence?
But, congrats to all... you've worked hard.

I doubt the MVP spin wheel rotates properly.

I very much doubt that he'll be happy with the word upgraded!
Slogans aren't solutions.

To head off the inevitable queries regarding how MVPs are determined, you should probably cite the FAQ that answers that question.

I have a theory as to why we only have 5 US MVPs. Most of the questions seem to be asked during the sub-continental day (India, Pakistan, B'desh, etc.) This gives the UK and India based experts more opportunities to answer them than American ones. Just a theory though, not based on any data points.

That's a false statistic. People can still answer questions that have already been answered.
And I wasn't complaining about the "spread", I was just cautioning you to answer the question that will inevitably be asked regarding the way MVP status is calculated.

Yeah, I know, but that may not get as many upvotes. Upvotes get you rep points, which are counted towards the MVP award.

I didn't think you were. I just responded and went in a tangential direction. And well, if anyone asks me how they can become an MVP - well, I guess I can link to the FAQ

I don't know if you know this or not, but you can edit your messages after you submit them the first time.
(I used to be a MVP, so I know these tricks about CP).

I program naked, mainly to avoid the issues of establishing some arbitrary statement regarding fashion and style.

We have members from other countries then the one's you listed?
|
|
|
|
|
Just 1 or 2 each I guess
|

Be honest: You're American, so the question you really wanted to as was "Do all those other countries you listed really exist?"

Well, most US maps only specify states of the union. The rest of the world is labeled, "Places we are better than".

Ah, Glasshopper, how can you claim to be better than something you do not know exists?
