Stats

I'm confused by my site's stats....

I have a country counter on the right of my site that is, granted, a bit newer than the 1 September, but it stores stats for my consumption on another site.

My web hosting service, however, has much more detailed stats about all sorts of things including what the visitor had for dinner the previous evening. The following is a screenshot of the most recent info for September:

First of all, what is the 'European Union doing on the list; if it's there why is Great Britain separate; and finally, why does the US show as the largest number of hits when all other indications suggest that English visitors (with a few Scottish visitors too - you are welcome!) are by far in the majority.

On another matter, does Great Britain imply that Ulster visitors are listed elsewhere? Also, according to my NeoCounter stats (which I have checked with the help of a Canadian and a Russian) I have had several Swedish visitors, whereas my hosting's stats say that I have had only one Swedish visitor ever... A pinch of salt shall be used in future...
