I posted a Hot Keys Quick Reference Sheet about 4 years ago, here:

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=41860

I posted it in 'Letter Size' (US, Canada, Mexico, and some South American nations), and A4 paper size (the rest of the world).

There's been 1,412 downloads:
45% for 'America'
55% the rest of the World

This game is in English, and as almost two thirds of the world's native English speakers are in the US and Canada (using 'Americans' loosely), you'd expect about two thirds of the players to be 'North American'.

But the above estimate is that only 45% of players are North American.

If you meant that it's a game for US citizens then you'd be even more wrong, as US players would be close to 40%, when it should be almost 60%.

This game is not nearly as popular with US Americans as it is in other parts of the world. It's an English speaking game where Americans are actually a minority.
