99% of mine is from China (either *.cn or 163.com or some other
numbering .com or .net. The .org is frowned upon in China - the TLD of
protestors and disidents). Half of what's left comes from either .kr
or .br. I'm fully in favor of an Internet Death Penalty against those
TLD's and associated domains till they clean up their acts.
