No need to do that, this website contains statistics for all rounds in the past 6 years: http://www.go-hero.net/jam/13/regions http://www.go-hero.net/jam/13/regions You'll find the same countries consistently at the top: Russia, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine (i.e. Eastern Europe) and China, Japan (i.e. East Asia) as well as a few others. No news here. Regarding "but if you go to the last page, there are a bunch of them trying", this is also a function of how many "bad programmers" participate. There's no way to tell whether bad Polish or US programmers filter themselves out of these competitions but Indians not so much.
