Where are your full node connections located?

[halfawake]

I just downloaded NetBalancer earlier today to see how much bandwidth bitcoin-qt is using and got an unexpected bonus from it.  In addition to shows how much bandwidth bitcoin-qt is using, it also shows what countries the people connected to you are located in.  Right now, I have eight connections, six from the United States and the other two are from Canada and the United Kingdom.  Earlier today, I tried this and those six connections were also located in the United States.  The difference then is that the other countries were Germany and Lithuania.  I briefly had a connection with someone in China too while composing this message.

Has anyone else tried this?  I'd be curious to hear what other people are seeing for their own bitcoin-qt connections.  Unfortunately, it looks like Netbalancer only works with Windows, but there might be another programs that work with other operating systems.

./bitcoind getpeerinfo can show each connected node
btw : USA runs about 50 percent of bitcoin full nodes , it's not curious that most of your connections are from USA

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that command line.  Yeah, I wasn't surprised to see that most of the full nodes are in the USA.  I was more curious to see where the ones elsewhere in the world are.

These are my peers:

my $json = qx{bitcoin-cli getpeerinfo};
my $peers = from_json $json;

foreach my $peer (@$peers) {

    next if -1 != index $ip, 'onion';
    next if -1 != index $ip, '127.0.0.1';
    $ip =~ s/:\d+$//;
    my $country = qx{geoiplookup $ip};

}
foreach my $c (reverse sort { $countries{$a} <=> $countries{$b} } keys %countries) {

Huh, neat.  You have a lot more peers than I do.  Interestingly, my peer list is completely different now from when I posted originally.  Now my peers are: Denmark, Ukraine, Lithuania, Portugal, Germany, United States, France, and Hungary.
