Countries over-represented among SteamAnalyst readers who chose PirateSwap over the last 90 days, measured against our own traffic mix — Poland at 15.2× means 15.2 times its share of the site overall. This is where our readers were, not where PirateSwap's own visitors are.

VPN use is common in skin trading — reaching a market that blocks your region, or working around a payment restriction. A reader is counted where they browsed from, not where they live, so these figures may under-count exactly the countries they are most likely to be interesting for.
