This only works if you have an account with Akamai or some other service which will do accurate geographic resolving for you. Even that doesn't work on a national basis; for example, I would show up as Oregon because my ISP is based there. Finally, that wouldn't show where Postgres is being *used*, just *downloaded*. --Josh

It's part of a larger question that goes with locating the largest number of postgres users on the continent.
