Rankings as at 1st of May 2015

Millions are becoming more common these days. In this year we have surpassed the 28, 29 millions and now its time for 30 million landmark. End of this month we would probably do that given that more than half million postcards get registered everything month. Comparisons today are between 1st March and 5th April. First 20 ranks remain unchanged. But Brazil which was 21st 2 months ago now in 23 losing two positions. Singapore and India now in 30th and 32nd positions while Brazil and Thailand losing one position each losing for the above mentioned. My country Sri Lanka has narrowed the gap so that it could possibly beat Bosnia and Herzegovina and Uzbekistan in coming months. Taiwan recruited 1775 members and Russia has recruited about 1611 members. Have you ever wondered about postcrossers density in each country. Finland has 3.31 postcrossers for every 1000 inhabitants while Lithuania, Taiwan, Belarus and Netherlands have more than 2 postcrossers for every 1000. Therefore you are likely to meet a postcrosser there than in any other country. In Luxembourg  average postcards sent by a member is 130 and for Finland it is almost 129.

Another Few Interesting Details Russia has a percentage of about 12% of total members. Taiwan postcrossers are almost amounts to 10% of total postcrossers. No country has sent 4 millions postcards and Germany is on course first to reach and will reach the landmark probably in the end of July. Let us hope that Ukraine Crisis will end up soon. In past two months net turnover of Ukraine is -144.
