Following my post yesterday about the marketing potential of Geographic Communities, I have now found around 50 such communities around the world.
The majority are set up at a country level, a few at regional or city level. Activity levels and subscriber numbers vary. Only three communities so far - STEEM CN, Korea • 한국 • KR • KO and Deutsch D-A-CH - have more than 100 subscribers.
The listings below show the community name, number of subscribers, activity status, community hive address, admins and (after //) the mods.
If you are involved in a geographically identified community that is not on the list please comment below or message me on Discord (Pennsif#9921).
I am not planning to include purely language focused communities where the languages are commonly used across many countries (Spanish being the main example).

I like your initiative of making Directory of Geographic Communities for Countries, Regions & Cities this go well with my initiative of branding communities I started few years ago when members of the community created logos and I made video for them.
Maybe you will find this video useful.

That would be good for these communities to have their own intro videos.
You should make an offer to them...

@pennsif I think that Geographic Communities have a lot of potential.
There is also a new feature by SteemPeak that offers profile Badges and a few of them that I have seen are geographically specific. You can view the currently available Badges here: https://steempeak.com/badges
You can learn about creating badges here: https://steempeak.com/hive-175001/@steempeak/badge-creation-steps
I think that the combination of communities and badges could be a very good synergy.

Hi Jacob, yes not sure about the badges yet.
It will be interesting to see if the Badges also become Communities.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

They make a single feed of all those that hold the Badge and people can easily subscribe to it which I think could be very awesome for keeping up with all the users in a geographic area regardless of if they are a Community member.
Below is an example of the Homesteaders Badge page found here: https://steempeak.com/b/badge-131313
As you can see the 'Accounts Feed' is created by folks that are recipients of the Badge and the Subscribe button lets anyone subscribe to that feed.

Hi @katerinaramm, please do let me know if you set up a Greek Community. I haven't found an existing one yet.
Yours would be the first.
Hopefully this list will help prevent too many duplicates, and strengthen existing ones.

Exciting developments - I can see a lot of great potential in this!
I am a member of several communities - also theme-oriented ones.
I test-posted my first one in the Steem Austria Community about my early art student years. It worked good - I posted to community and then shared it to my blog (to make it available to everyone).
