Kinda curious, where is the average piano forum user?

Idk just curious

The center of the earth, assuming we're all scattered about mostly evenly on the earth's surface.
If you want the mode, 1. you should have asked for it, and 2. probably N. US. Not sure though...

It's interesting to note that the US was divided into three regions, while Canada, which is bigger than the US, was kept to one region.

Fair point lol, just that there is more people in the USA

[transitional]

You missed Eastern US, so I put Northern US. I think it's fine to leave the United States as one category on the whole.

China's population is 4X that of the US.  So if the US has 3 regions, China should have 12?

How about just listing the 7 continents instead?  This way Antarctica will also be an option.  I noticed it was missing from the OP's list.

Agreed.
We need a map with labels as a starting point. 
Wikipedia works:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_geoscheme

I recommend :
North America
Central and South America
Western Europe (including North and South)
Eastern Europe (Russia, Georgia, etc.)
Western Asia
Eastern Asia (including Central, South, East, Southeast)
Australia / New Zealand
Africa

The locations of users of this site is going to depend on areas with a working knowledge of English...

Tbf, not as many people in China have enough knowledge of English to be in an English based piano forum

I wanted to get more specific, but I went a bit overboard admittedly

...or even have access to non-state-sponsored websites, for that matter. Pianostreet is based in Sweden, so no dice.

[cheng qian]

Is there such a thing as a possibility, I mean hypothetical....

English is a compulsory subject in China and is studied all the way from kindergarten to university and even postgraduate and doctoral students..?It's not really that difficult to visit websites from other countries..?as well as the fact that China is currently in the 21st century and not the 17th.?

And whether there is such a thing as a possibility.

I mean if.

The news you see about China is also artfully crafted?

If you're joking, it wasn't very funny.
If you're being sincere, then you have a lot to learn about the world of international politics.

Who exactly are you responding too?

I was responding to:

China maintains some of the strictest censorship out of every country in the world, being roughly on the same level of press freedom as Eritrea, Myanmar, and Syria. The only google website that is available in China is google maps, and even then google has to show the Chinese exactly what they claim the world is. In other words, China is shown having complete control over all disputed territories with their neighbors, is shown controlling everything Taiwan claims (such as Mongolia), among other ridiculous things that are extremely far from what a de facto map would show.
Also, English is spoken by under 3% of the population, so I find it somewhat hard to believe that enough Chinese people would be able to both somehow avoid the censorship and speak English fluently in order for China to be the location of the median pianostreet user.
Another thing, they claimed I was getting that info from faulty news sources, which is simply not true.
