What's always struck me is how large the Dutch Wikipedia is (1,992,551 articles), given the relatively low number of people that speak that language. They would appear to be a pretty tech-savvy/well-connected nation.

It's certainly consistent with the number of comments that I see here on HN that start with some variation on "Here in the Netherlands...".

This up to date graph from the German Wikipedia clearly shows the jumps: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/Wikipedi...
