In Page Views Per Wikipedia Language - Breakdown I also notice something 
that should affect chapter relations: there are some Wikipedias which 
are read from foreign countries more than from the country of origin 
(probably b/c readers from diaspora is richer and has better Internet 
access).

For example, Macedonian Wikipedia is read more from Slovenia or Germany 
than from Macedonia:

Macedonian (mk) (0.02% share of global total)
Slovenia	30.6%
Germany	23.7%
Macedonia	23.3%

It would therefore make sense for WMDE to try to reach Macedonians 
living in Germany, and for future WMMK to help them in doing so.
