Just a third of those fans come from the United States, according to a report from analytics firm SocialBakers. Brazil, at 8%, and the United Kingdom, at 5%, account for GoT's next-strongest social followings. \nOn Twitter, the U.S. accounted for 20% of the show's buzz, with Canada at 16%, the U.K. at 8% and Brazil at 4%. Ecuador, somewhat surprisingly, accounted for 5% of GoT's season-three Twitter buzz. \nFor more of SocialBakers' season-three social recap, check out the infographic, below. \n\nHomepage image courtesy of HBO, Helen Sloan"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
