Hutt-River

I would guess some poor African countries do not have one. I believe in October, Cerulean pointed out that we had first user from Guinea-Bissau.

I couldn't find any Chinese members on the "Swap partners" page

This info isn't credible either - you can choose the country you want, but I do want to believe that Numista is getting more and more popular all over the world!

Sure, but I do not see a point of lying in this matter...

​That page only shows recent or active members by default. I know for a fact that there are Chinese members here, just not many. East Asia is quite underrepresented.

I will take it upon myself to recount the tally of memberships by country.

​The glorious representative of Swaziland and Hutt River on Numista

First one I found!

The Central African Republic has 0 members.

Comoros up next.

Equatorial Guinea too.

Bhutan and Nepal?

​I'm visiting China sometimes, therefore I'm interested in swap with Chinese. How can I find them on the site?

Numista is for now not blocked by the Great Firewall at least in Beijing, Shenzhen, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang Province and Yunnan Province.

But I think the language barrier is the biggest factor that hinders especially people from east asia to join or even find Numista. Proficiency is officially high in many places but in reality it's far from that, additionally translation software for non-indo-european languages into English/French is still lacking.

I'm almost sure there ain't people from North Korea (at least real ones) or Vatican (Actually one priest(?) living in Vatican uses at least eurobilltracker (Named mario pigi))

Are there any from Svalbard? Swaziland? Comoros, Mauritius, Seychelles or Gibraltar? It's possible the smallest African countries or just very small countries have none.

​ At the end of the Forum main page is a link to all members.
Then on there click 'all' at end of alphabetical list (takes a long time to load) -
then click on 'Country' and they appear in order >

And just now I counted over 90 members who put China as a country ...

I'm from Hong Kong, and depending on how you see it I may be in China... it's complicated.

We need Numista Chinese soon. Unlike any other high-population country China does not speak English, was not colonized by the British or any European countries (once but that was short-lived, see Empress Cixi).

I'll hopefully increase the number of people using it in HK.

​Good luck with that; I remember we pushed for Numista Español a while back, but the sheer amount of work required to translate all the existing data in all the catalogue into another language would be tremendous.

And China was never fully under the control of a colonial power to my knowledge, but there were various treaty ports, foreign concessions, and spheres of influence by the colonial empires.

UK: Hongkong (1842/1898- 1997), and Weihaiwei (1898-1930)
France: Kwangchowan (1898-1946)
Germany: Kiauchau/Tsingtao (1898-1914/1919)
Russia: Port Arthur (1898-1905)
Japan: Port Arthur (1905-1945), Tsingtao (1914/1919-1922), Manchuria (1931-1945), assorted parts of China (1933/1937-1945)
Portugal: Macao (1547/1849- 1999)
All (+ Spain, Belgium, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden-Norway, United States) various foreign concessions in Peking, Tientsin, Shanghai and other cities.

Even in 1900 when the Eight Nation Alliance occupied Peking following the Boxer Rebellion (I'm assuming thats what you're referring to with Cixi) it dosen't really count as 'colonization', but more like war occupation. China was simply too big and homogenous for any 19th century colonial powers to fully control it.

Exactly.
With the current show of warfare, even the USA cannot defeat China as a whole. How do you get to Tibet after such a long journey, even if stopping in Guam?

I am not pro-China by the way, neither am I pro-HK independence.

Also, no one would want to attack a nuclear-weapon-holding country.
