Well, that sounds like a d.o. usability bug to me. Funny, though.

I know why …

Afghanistan is at the top of the list of countries in the personal information tab, and hence if people do not change it, it defaults to Afghanistan.

Makes sense now that they are overrepresented.

The numbers are based on self-reported country on the Drupal user profile page. They were compiled in September, and could have changed.

For example, see http://drupal.org/profile/country/Egypt. There are 20 per page, and 35 pages. So roughly 700 registered users now.

Afghanistan, for whatever reason, shows 220 pages or over 4000 users. http://drupal.org/profile/country/Afghanistan?page=219

I am surprised that Afghanistan would have more than 4 times those of Egypt, given the population, and the state of technology.

Egypt has about 80 Million, whereas Afghanistan has 31 Million.

Unless the ones in Afghanistan are overrepresented by expats visiting or working there or something … but still …
