I can understand that if there are countries with very small numbers of donors you wouldn't want to give country-by-country breakdowns. But national charities report on how much money they raise all the time without any legal barriers, so I doubt there can be barriers to WMF reporting by country for most countries....

Lodewijk: So just as last year, fundraising totals have been posted by region but there is currently no public data for donations from each country. It's felt that the regional breakdown at least provides a compromise between providing a semi-decent view of where our donations come from while at the same time respecting privacy and other legal reasons that is associated with releasing country level data.
Huh? Like Rupert, I find this comment very confusing. What specific privacy and legal reasons are there for not providing a per-country breakdown of donations?
