These forums are primarliy for UK/EU students who wish to study for JAA licences. The regional split reflects the places where those students go for their training, and that the US schools are as numourous as the rest put together. It also covers those places where foreign licence-holders may convert to JAA.
Those from other regions who wish to discuss training within their own locale and regulatory system can and do use their own regional forums. Hong Kong has its own Wannabes; Oz & NZ may get one, but they have a group of forums already and don't yet need a separate Wannabes.
