Thanks Dieter, a very interesting, revealing and eye-opening graphic. By land-mass, I guess comma-separator countries are indeed the majority, though by population, clearly not.

Other observations:

1. It is surprising how much area (how many countries) there is no data for (though I sure don't know about any of them either)

2. I know many people all over Canada (including family) and none of them use commas. Most I know are in Quebec, presumably the province most likely inclined to use European standards. Comments Canadians?

3. I had no idea Russia and the former USSR members used commas.

Again, thanks for sharing this.
