Are you determining these numbers simply by a site search? That's just wrong. In case of Spain this even returns 3 and there are effectively 2 unicorns in this list.

I extracted the inner text inside a <p class="foo"></p> using Python & BeautifulSoup, print to stdout, then cut, sort, uniq, and sort again.

It looks like the counts from this voodoo are incorrect: they are all twice as much. However, proportions are still correct.
