Hi David,<br>
<br>
Atlas is wrong here, because its back-end service Onionoo uses
an<br>
outdated GeoIP database. I'll look into updating it today.<br>
<br>
Recent Tor clients use an updated GeoIP database which resolves
these<br>
addresses to US, JP, IE, US, AU, and SG.</blockquote>

<div>Atlas, or rather its back-end service, now<span></span> uses
a more recent GeoIP database from January 2013 that locates 3 of
your 6 relays outside of the U.S.</div>

(I can't say much about the rest of your question, and rather
than<br>
guessing, I'll leave it to somebody else.)<br>
