Most of ISPs in egypt, saudi arabia, iran, pakistan, indonesia are islamic and so blocking adult pages. So they use proxies and are resold as US/CA/AU/DE/FR traffic. Further, lots of adult sites display nothing to IP's from russia, romania, india, brazil etc., so they use proxies and are resold as US/CA/AU/DE/FR traffic.
The geo libraries such as Maxmind, recently try to identify proxies as "A1" country rather than US/CA/AU/DE/FR , but 1) their proxy list covers 1% and 2) are we sure the ad networks will care to sell proxy traffic as "proxy traffic" rather than US/CA/AU/DE/FR
