Comment(by cypherpunks):

 An additional observation is that it means that your geoip provider gets
 to influence your path selection to a certain extend. They could put a
 relay into a country with no other relays to make sure it gets picked
 more. This is probably a small influence, but I haven't done any math to
 prove that.
