Stewart MsSweyn's fast mile on a small town track prompted a discussion in the Aussie thread about small town tracks. I posted USA vs AUS stats in that thread but thought people might be interested in a world wide list.
I pulled the WA .pdf list and after playing with the very messy data produced some hopefully reliable stats by country. A breakdown by track surface is possible but I haven't cleaned that data but if anyboyd is interested, let me know and I'll start on that project.
A total of 149 countries out of WA's 214 members have at least 1 certified track. Here's a table by country by class, sorted by total number of tracks.
