The Journal – 2012 Asia & The Oceania Growth Statistics
This is the third article in a four part series recording the active growth statistics of 2012 from around the World. In my previous two articles we looked at a 45% increase in population for the Americas whilst a 20% decline in Europe. I would appreciate as many votes and shouts as you can spare, remaining very grateful for any subscribers. Thank you!

In this article I will be observing the growth rate of active citizens across Asia and the Oceania*. Data collection was carried out by recording the number of votes in each nation’s Presidential elections throughout the year. If you would like a copy of the spread sheet I used containing this data feel free to PM me. Asia with the Oceania recorded loses of 33%, one in three people that were playing in this region have left the game. Out of the 13 countries surveyed only 3 recorded positive growth while the rest declined, the worst case amounting to over 70% of that nation’s population.



Author's Analysis.
2012 was not a kind year to the Far East. The big two; China & Indonesia both lost almost half of their player base! That means almost 1500 active citizens have left those two countries alone. Lesser nations found themselves in similar circumstances, unable to capitalize on the handicap of their regions superpowers, most too declining. Only three countries recorded annual growth which, collectively, totaled at 167 citizens. Asia, like Europe, is in decline.

Below are the growth rates of each nation in Asia and the Oceania, I have divided into into two groups to make the graphs easier to read. The divisions are the top 7 & remaining 6.
