Per cultural bias -

I'd like to throw out the idea of a quota system for shares&tweets based on
geography? We could have a world map with regions or topical areas
(geography, science, history and so forth) and see what we've got lots of
and what we're lacking? I suppose that the goal would be some level of
'flat' global coverage? I suppose a world map could roughly categorize
regions into broad areas (Oceania, South Asia, East Asia, Central Asia/CIS
countries, Middle East/North Africa, Sub-saharan Africa, Europe, Australia,
North America, South America, Outer Space)
