I pulled up some Verotel stats from my paysites showing the location (based on billing address, anyway) of signups:

593 U.S.A. (en)
46 United Kingdom (en)
34 Germany (de)
33 Canada (en, fr)
27 France (fr)
12 Australia (en)
10 Spain
7 Norway
7 Italy
5 New Zealand (en)
4 Switzerland
4 Sweden
4 Netherlands (nl)
3 Japan
3 Finland
2 Portugal
2 Mexico
2 Israel
2 Denmark
2 Brazil
2 Belgium-Flanders
2 Austria
1 South Korea
1 South Africa
1 Poland
1 Ireland (en)

If I had pre-filtered en/de/fr/nl only then about 11% of these transactions would have never happened. Is that good or bad? Probably about even when it comes to loss of income versus the savings from less transfer on my galleries and paysite preview.

If I expand the above list to include the European Union then I lose less than 3% of the transactions...
