I have been compiling lists of Hivers in various countries using Hive account@hivesql. The profile location data is not very consistent, but I try to group people by area when there are a few. There may be some mistakes due to my lack of local knowledge. If I have listed you incorrectly then please let me know.
It actually does not take long to put these lists together, but finding all the people in a country takes more work. I will leave it to the national communities to do that and will make the source data available on Github. Anyone can edit that and use my scripts to produce posts like this. It just needs a little Python knowledge and I can assist to get you started.
I have no plans to run these lists often (apart from the monthly #Britlist), so it will be up to others to do so. Please tag me if you do and I will support the posts.
You may note that some big Hive countries such as USA and Venezuela are not on this list, but those will be big jobs to compile and I would need help with them.
Commentary
I was prompted to do this list after talking to Hive account@akipponn at Hivefest. She was interested to know how many Japanese people were active. I did my query for those active in the last year and only about a third of those have posted recently. There are no accounts in the top two levels.
I think the 'legacy chain' was bigger in Asia, but we lost users in the fork. That may have been more of an issue in Korea, but I do not know too much about Hive in Japan and if it was affected.
There is a dedicated Hive Japan community, so you may find others there.
has done a more comprehensive list.
