Jay, how about adding 'Petitioners Worldwide' map to the site? You can check an example here. It could be in a different form, though (eg.: split for all states in U.S.). This may be a good way to check where (ie.: in which countries) you should 'rise awareness' of our petition/your website.

I saw the original theatrical release of the Old Trilogy on the big screen and I'm proud of it...
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

I could see maybe doing it for the U.S., but not worldwide. Too many countries with too few signatures from each to justify the amount of work involved.

I am planning on signature statistics at some point. As the site grows and we get more signatures it'll become worthwhile.

Well, with all the comments I've heard about we Canadians pretty much overrunning certain topics, how about at least a North America map?

If you remember from the petition signup form, Canadian territories are actually listed along with US states. I figured that the majority of signatures would come from the US and Canada, so that's why I did it that way. Showing signature percentages based on North American states and territories will be easy because of this, but doing text searches on the database for specific country names for the rest of the world will be a huge pain in the ass, not to mention bring the server to its knees.

Ah, I didn't feel like typing. But I was the second to vote in the poll.

Jay, thanks for clearing that one up for me. It's just that usually when someone says they're only going to cover the States, that's exactly what they mean. It's nice to feel included.
