25% of a website's userbase being located in one state of one country is a "vast majority" on the Internet, it having a far higher HN'er/population ratio then any other state or country.

To be pedantic, the definition of majority is half the group, and 'vast' implies upwards of 70%.

You probably mean something like a "large plurality"
