Yup. No biggie. That is just the countries whos music makers are relevant in my life. I suspect this to be true for the overwhelming majority of users on this site. I know next to nothing about music from outwith the countries listed. It is of no relevance to me.

What’s the issue? Smee created the thread. It’s up to him what he wants to list.
