<p>Serith provides a link that shows location of Bitcoin nodes.  Beyond that Bitcoin specifically makes geolocation stats difficult.  Addresses are intentionally random and arbitrary.  You can look at transaction to determine senders IP address however that can be obfuscated and will not correctly reflect anyone using a web based wallets. </p>

<p>For bitcoin generation that is more difficult as roughly 80% of all Bitcoins are generated via a pool so any data in blockchain will simply indicate the location of the pool not the miners that make it up.</p>

<p>I would like to know if there are any statistics on turnover of Bitcoins for each country in the world. A very rough way would be to get a statistic on which traffic to Bitcoin.org by country.</p>

Are you interested in how much Bitcoins each country generates, or how interested people are in Bitcoins in those countries? For first one you would have to get statistics from a couple major pools, for the second - either bitcoin.org, or the forum. I can give you some rough data from my calculator website if you want on traffic sources.

@ThePiachu I am mostly interested the turnover of Bitcoins in each country (not the level of mining). But if that cannot be provided, then the second statistic.
