(Asia) CryptoStorm's Next Top...Exit

[parityboy]

So...the team is looking to gauge the appetite for where the next exit node should go, so I've taken it upon myself to create one. This will be the first of a number of territorially-focused polls, to see where network members think would be best served by an exit. I'll post this as a sticky to keep it at eye level - "eye level is buy level" as they say.

Well, it's not part of Africa, the Americas, Antarctica, Europe or the Middle East. Since this is a poll, which group would you put it in?

Technically, Australia is... Australia. From the Wikipedia article on the matter:

Australia, sometimes known in technical contexts by the names Sahul, Australinea or Meganesia, to distinguish it from the Australian mainland, is a continent comprising mainland Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea, Seram, possibly Timor, and neighbouring islands.

Well, perhaps if I had thought it through, I would have created a Meganesia or Oceania poll. However, considering that Australia (mainland...) and New Zealand are really the only viable candidates, it would have been a rather small poll.

Would it be possible to get a node in North Korea? (serious question)

Also, what about more poor and possibly less-organized countries such as Laos or Cambodia? Perhaps the authorities in those kinds of places lack the resources to investigate anything if they'd ever be requested to. Not even sure if that matters in regards to our protection but just throwing it out there.

Australia just passed through data collection laws. We need an exit node here

Screw Japan... the data center will just succumb to another earthquake, tsunami, or nuclear reactor meltdown...

Go for Australia, I can't see a dingo eating an exit node any time soon! Strewth!
