Updated with the latest data released today!
The data has been updated, now shows percentage for each section and shows the merits deleted as well 
That's cool! 
But where is the English distribution sMerit?
I see only the location of the whole world, but there is no basic English distribution sMerit.

This is giving an overview of every section you can navigate in the forum, the English part would be a set of some of them. I would say roughly ~67% of the merits are going in the English speaking area.
The only section i made up, as necessity, was one to show the threads which got merits but were removed.
That's cool!

Just added the % and a new category containing the merits belonging to deleted threads, so you can have the all figure

Total amount of merits so far was 140.662 what is missing from the graph are merits belonging to deleted threads!
Total amount of merits browsable in the graph is 134.713

Congratulations for having done such a good job. But in the end I didn't understand which is the percentage of merited posts which have been deleted (most likely because of the deletion of the entire thread). In this case, by the way, does the person keep the merit of a deleted post?
Thank you.
Deleted threads containing merits account for ~6k merits, about ~4.2% of the total.
The people that got the merits in those thread get to keep them so it doesn't affect anybody, is just not possible for us to see where and which post was merited.

Updated till 13th of April, now the total is correct
Have fun
Have fun
My bad,I actually found the problem every amount of merits given for a comment is just counted as 1, instead of the real amount of merits given. 
Ill be updating the graph soon

Good. Sum for Count and ready to roll...
From what i can see we are talking abou threads missing as if you have a link to a comment missing the thread still shows up. Is when the thread is missing that you get nothing.
I had previously double checked the number i see in the graph for a given thread with what i see going in a thread manually and they seems to be the same.
I should run it again and check the total numbers against the threads i found to be missing and see if it match up with the total merits(125281 in the raw file i used).

Deleted posts with a Merit Tx involved are in the 4% to 6% area (of sMerit with no matching thread), depending on the dataset used in the past. That would give you a max around 7.500 sMerits not asociable to a forum section with the current dataset, but the remaining should be accounted for (unless there's been a massive deletion of threads these past two weeks, which I doubt it).
What is your count of merit awarded to deleted threads ?

The rule i used was to discard comments from the counting regardless if the thread was still there.
Did you pause for one second between scraping posts? If you scrape too fast, you'll get empty pages, which could explain you missed about half the merited posts.

Wow, this is next level. I made data about merit too before for my own topic but this is way out of my level, it is an awesome job. I hope you can continue to update this merits data.
Regarding to the difference between the number of merit from other thread, i guess there must be some archive to the posts that got meritted by people, so we can know the quality of the posts and increasing the accuracy of data gathering like this piggy does, and it also helps to spot merit cheaters.
