Watch those nations is still less than 1000 users with 8 or more seasons behind him.
According to you, these are great numbers, according to me, not. It is not possible that in the world only a few nations have all this love for the BB basket.

but this would have more marketing porpose and nothing to do that small countrys have advantage - if this was a break this will exist when they started but at this time the growth was good.

I think I must have misread your theory, then. Sorry for that, I thought you mentioned that there can't be growth in very small countries when a few teams dominate the scene. I think the above example demonstrate that theory is wrong.

Currently we've got just a few countries that actually managed to grow with more than 1000 users since season 3. 1000 users isn't a small number, as you suggest. Italia is just ~1000 users above their total in season 5. Spain was at 5419 in season 5, 6474 right now. It's not as easy as you suggest to get 1000 users in a few seasons. I'd say the growth of the quoted countries is pretty huge, you've got to put up realistic numbers and put them into perspective. We got a 55k userbase here, not a 900k one.

I'd say a 500% growth in 5 seasons in Canada, a 375% growth in 5 seasons Česká Rep. and a 2000% growth in Taiwan in 6 season is quite allright. I would be extremely happy if all countries, thus whole BB, grow at this pace.

I do not think the% growth is a reliable indicator.

The churn rate is rather to understand what I say.

What is the% of people who after having entered, leave the game after 2 or 3 seasons? (the time to understand the real situation and perspective of his own team)

The churn rate is used as a reliable indicator in all market segments in which services are the main key of the market (eg: telephony). I believe that BB could be a valid indicator.

The% of growth may indicate how many people know the game and not how they appreciate it.

i believe things have nothing to do with cash as i joined during season 9 just before allstar break and australia has a big community i find that i have probably made more money than teams in small countries check this out and this is in two season basically on transfer list
Total Sales: $ 9 639 200
Total Purchases: $ 9 811 188

after which criteria, you selected those teams, i mean you kicked out some teams ramdomly like Poland(third biggest nation)

How about the disadvantages. Like experience, how many games a season do small country powerhouses have to actually see how their players and tactics stack up against certain opponent tactics and players. The fun factor, i really question how much fun can you have playing this game steamrolling opponents all season. Honestly i'd choose to be in a big competitive community over a couple B3 games a season and when you'd actually win something it would be much more gratifying i imagine.

that is a great example of income the italian is in the same div just different country thatss bigger n he has a higher income with 20 k more from tv contract and has a higher merchandise revunue i have a low salary team compared to his of almost 100k but my team doesnt compete well against higher ranked teams
