Geographic diversity is just as important in a democratic network of voters as infrastructure and team. The Middle East is being represented only by 1 Block Producer (LiquidEOS) from Tel Aviv. Lead by the Bancor team and with a bare metal infrastructure.

When you vote. Make sure to vote for diversity, infrastructure, and team qualifications. I believe they deserve their spot in the top 21.

Israel an ideal location for a Block Producer given its regional technical excellence and to ensure the geographic dispersion of the EOS network. Their servers are located in the most secure military-grade facilities in Israel — which is itself a global leader in security technology and critical contingency planning. Seems like their the lead in the Middle East, although I'm curious if there will be more contenders in the future. Frankly it doesn't matter as they hopefully can work side by side with each other. LiquidEOS has my vote.

And there's only one from whole of African continent. I'll be supporting both LiquidOS and EOS cafe. EOS foundation too should promote decentralization of geography of the block producer. And there should be no more than 1 (or a minimum number of) block producer in a country. It's not just for diversification but also for security.

With the voting strategy of EOS, everyone would vote for producers on their own country than only to others. That to say, the winners with most votes would be all the block producers from China, USA, Russia, South East asia. Chinese investors would than vote for East and South East asian producer while USA might go for Israel.

Don't forget India. Though we may have limited number of EOS investors, we have a natural talent of manipulating votes.
