For those few readers who are really fascinated by the workings of SF fandom, Kevin Standlee has posted a map of the Worldcon membership by country, and by state for the US and prefecture for Japan.
It’s interesting not just for the distribution of the actual members, but for the gaps. Africa appears only in a couple of small insets, thanks to a few members in Nigeria, South Africa, and Israel, while only a tiny slice of Aouth America is shown, thanks to a handful of members in Chile. There are no members from anywhere in the former Soviet Union.
I don’t know that you can read any Deep Meaning into any of this, but it’s sort of interesting just to look at.
