European Union in "View by Country"?

At what point did WordPress start using “European Union” as in “VIEW BY COUNTRY”?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey Craig,
Our geolocation provider now reads European Union for visitors to your site whom it knows are in the EU, but for whom it cannot determine the country.
The EU stats are separate from a single country stat. For instance, if you have 140 EU views, and 60 views from Spain, you do have 190 views.
I hope this helps.
Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!

thatrobyn,
Thanks, that helps; but, when exactly was this practice instituted? I don’t recall seeing this until just today – that doesn’t mean you’ve not been doing this for a while, just that I’ve not noticed it.
But, I have to say that I’m having difficulty understanding why your geolocator would have more difficulty determining country of origin within EU countries than, say, African or Middle Eastern countries.

You’re correct – it was a recent change as we worked to spruce up the stats page. Previously, these users wouldn’t have been listed in the Country stats.

When viewing my year summary I find 800 “European Union” hits. Are you saying these addition 700+ hits were added to the annual total? That is, am I to understand that had this new practice been instituted I’d have had 800 less hits over the past (rolling) year?

The hits still would have appeared in daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly stats. However, they would not have appeared underneath the “Views By Country” list. They still would have been included in your overall totals that you see.
