Read the small countries carefully.
A country with two tracked outlets that split their vote shows a 50% "winner" that means nothing. The archive is also heavily weighted towards Western outlets — the United States alone accounts for a fifth of all 2003 awards — so a thin row is a gap in our coverage, not evidence about that country's taste. Entries the source recorded as a language or a multi-country region rather than a country (Arab, Benelux, CA/FR, EUS …) are counted in the worldwide total but left out of the country ranking.
