it's in order of importance

Still, should it not be sorted by "easiness to move in"? After all, if one is crazy enough to emigrate just to be able to play Stadia, that's probably the most relevant metric by which one would chose the destination country.

Also, there is something intrinsically hilarious about the denials of end-user service statements of "sorry, your IP address is in the blacklist; please consider changing your Internet provider and/or country of residence" kind.

It's not funny anymore. Countries are their own domains, with their own laws, including copyright laws, and each legal system has (mostly) decided what the Internet is and is not. Gone are the days of 1997 when the Internet was utterly lawless. (DMCA was 1998). Now, we're lucky ISPs don't charge long distance fees for accessing foreign websites.
What ranking of importance? Germany is twice as big as Canada, and is also bigger than France or Italy.
Ranked in order of importance for the international but still largely US-based company.
US, next to US; UK; list of countries in Europe.
Sort by shithole rank
