If I recall correctly, it's all relative to the amount of traffic Google gets from each country.

Thus, it doesn't mean more people visited from Austria, rather, a higher percentage of traffic in that country went to WP, not a higher number.

Thank you for mentioning this thing, very interesting. I just wonder: Why are there much more requests from Austria than from Germany for de.WP? Why much more from Algieria and Morocco than from France for fr.WP? And Pakistan is way ahead of the US and UK for en.WP. Do Austrians have a need to google for WP, while Germans already have it on their bookmarks?
