I am not so sure the US is outpacing the rest by far. Assuming 179 million American FB MAU [1] and the next highest (India, a country I am a citizen of) having ~3200 requests for roughly 78 million MAU [2]. you get (78/179 * 11500) ~ 5000. So India is not too far off and I would suggest giving it time :). Btw, I used 11500 for America as the mean between 11k and 12k since only the range is given. I guess all governments are spying on their citizens :).
