could just be the countries with the most users or where they've seen a recent trend, up or down, in local market share.
Very weird, because it's not sorted alphabetically. That means there is a bias in the sorting, because the first option is default and the best option for most users.
They are sorted at random for each visitor.
Oh I meant this as a joke, to place Germany as the best answer.^^ But regardless, good to know its random. Probably doesn't even matter.
