Romania, US, the Netherlands, Canada, and UK are what comes to my mind when the term "bitcoin" and "countries" come into play. China, on the other hand--though a big country accepting bitcoin--couldn't be included in 'successful' because it is mainly used as an investment vehicle instead of being used to buy goods etc.

It depends on how you measure the success... Let's have a look at the VC capital invested from different countries in the last quarter. http://www.slideshare.net/CoinDesk/v3-state-of-bitcoin-and-blockchain-q3-2015?related=2 {Slide 33} The Netherlands are making huge strides here. Silicon Valley invested $489.2 m in total compared to the rest of the world $431.9 m combined. That would place the US in the top spot for me, based on VC capital investment. If you base the success on merchant accepting Bitcoin, North America and Western Europe is still on top. So there you have it... watch the slides..

Definitely "third world" countries. For example In Brazil and Argentina is very popular due to the fluctuation of their local economies and devaluation. However as other have said, Bitcoin is hardly easy to use for common people, plus obtaining it is very complicated in these countries. Localbitcoins just don't cut it for common folks.
If we really aim to make Bitcoin mainstream, it should be very easy to get and set up, just as buying groceries with cash or credit or online shopping. Trust me it's not as easy outside some countries like US or Europe. Think about how Bitcoin could overtake all Western Union/Money Gram/Paypal niche.

What about 3rd world countries? Bitcoin would allow their economy to be what it deserves. I heard that there are already ways to pay with bitcoins with SMS like MPesa. But bitcoin needs to catch up. If 3rd world countries adopt bitcoin the rest of the world will follow. My opinion is that we should leave aside developed countries, because adoption will take time there, but focus on 3rd world countries that don't have so advanced banking systems yet.
Are there any graphs showing how bitcoin is doing in these countries?
But in 3rd world countries people have less access to computers and similar stuff, less knowledge about it and less interest in learning about it. Contrary to your opinion, I think bitcoin massive adoption will follow the usual path: From big 1st world countries to its 3rd world neighbors/trade partners and then to the whole world. Technology will gradually get cheaper as time goes on. People from Kenya already are using mobile payments to each other called MPesa. Before you even know it they will learn about far superior products like bitcoin. That is not hyperinflationary like their local currency. However I would still give them atleast 5 years to catch up with smartphones.

I am guessing USA is the number one user of Bitcoin. I am not 100% sure but with all the companies that have spun up in the states regarding this it seems likely it is number one.

After all Isle of Man is a nation with population of less than 100.000 people. I guess this ranking is about the adoption rate or total bitcoin awareness of society.

It's a difficult question as there are many answers. What are you looking for, the country which has the largest number of miners? The largest number of BTC holders? The country whose inhabitants collectively own more BTC than any other? The country with the highest number of shops accepting BTC? ...

It is weird to see a lot of people saying Canada. Although this answer is correct in terms of bitcoin use worldwide, it truly isn't a success anywhere at this point.
For years people have been waiting for mass adoption. My opinion is we are a long way from that, mostly because it won't be adopted by the masses until they are forced to use it, which will mostly happen behind the scenes. From that point mass speculation investment would get involved.
In Canada, most people have never even heard of it. Or if they have heard about it, they have no idea how it works and thinks it sounds like a scam.
This is based on my experience from living in multiple of the largest cities and travelling the country for work over the past 4+ years while I have been interested in it.

My top 3 pick would be, North America / UK and in the European countries. I also see huge potential in India and Africa, if someone can find a way to link services like BitPesa. The mobile phone distribution is huge, and it could easily be targeted for mainstream adoption as a primary payment method. Let's break the damn wall.
