28,000 people is the world now? Wow! It's a small world after all!

It's enough to get a general consensus.

NOT on a worldwide survey.
If you've done things right, people won't be sure if you've done anything at all.

My mate Gordon is banned from Andorra.
How'd he manage that?
It's not difficult. You just have to destabilise their economy and incite a revolution.
That made me laugh so hard.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

YES on a worldwide survey, if parts of those 28,000 are represented by every country in the world proportional to the percentage of the population of their country to the world population. But, yeah, I highly doubt that's how it went.

But more than anything I find it imbalanced because it only included 12 countries, so it's a huge stretch to say "Canada is the most popular country in the world" when New Zealand, say, wasn't even on there.

Kinda raised my eyebrow that North Korea is more popular than the US though. That's messed up.

Uh... I think a better way of putting that would be "less unpopular". Anyway, the reason I think people feel that way is because the poll was on positive/negative influence, and since North Korea pretty much has no influence anywhere but North Korea, nobody really cared. The US however, has major influence everywhere, so a smaller problem in the States can still have a far greater global impact.
