OK, so, it turns out that Nationmaster.com have a Top 100 LiveJournal users, except they're going by country rather than by user. So you'd expect this to be roughly the same as what you get on the LiveJournal stats page.
Nope.
Here's the top fifteen countries from each:
LiveJournal United States Canada United Kingdom Russian Federation Australia Germany Singapore Philippines Netherlands Japan Ukraine New Zealand (Aotearoa) Finland Israel Scotland | NationMaster United States Canada United Kingdom Russia Australia Germany Singapore Japan Netherlands Philippines Ukraine Israel Sweden Brazil Ireland |
OK, so the first 7 are the same, there's a bit of mixing up lower down - the NationMaster figures seem to be a week or so out of date, despite it claiming to be figures for "December 2004" at the bottom... The problem is that New Zealand doesn't appear anywhere on NationMaster's list.
Neither does Scotland for that matter, but I guess NationMaster don't regard it as a separate country.
I'm guessing their automated script is confused by "New Zealand (Aotearoa)".
