The world however, contains all humanity. If you ask me, does the fact that England has far more British people in it than any other group, make it a British country, I say yes.
Unless you can demonstrate a statistically significant difference in internet usage among people, divided along international lines, then I have to assume that the portion of the population who is on the internet is an equal factor among different nations.

And I'm not saying there isn't one, but, between the US and the UK? I can't see a reason for that.
