why just in the US?

Just curious why the forum says specifically "in the US"
I know most of the readers are from the US, but as far as Billiard and pool history a lot of interesting facts pertaining to antiques and history may also be from other countries. England has a lot to do with the history of snooker for example.
I dont understnad why such a limitation should be important. Borders might not matter much to readers interested in pool or billiards history.

I would like a forum called 'Billiard and Pool History in Egypt' where every post is just that one quote from Anthony and Cleopatra

Seems to be some lemonading and hustling going on in Cleo's tent:

CLEOPATRA.
Let it alone; let's to billiards:
Come, Charmian.

CHARMIAN.
My arm is sore; best play with Mardian.

CLEOPATRA.
As well a woman with an eunuch play'd
As with a woman.--Come, you'll play with me, sir?

MARDIAN.
As well as I can, madam.

But how do you say it in Arabic?

كليوباترا.
دعها وشأنها. دعونا إلى البلياردو:
تعال يا شارميان.

شارميان.
لدي إلتهاب في ذراعي؛ أفضل اللعب مع مارديان.

كليوباترا.
وكذلك لعبت امرأة مع الخصي
كما هو الحال مع امرأة.--تعال، سوف تلعب معي، يا سيدي؟

مارديان.
بقدر ما أستطيع، سيدتي.
kilyubatra.
daeha washanuha. daeawna 'iilaa albilyardu:
taeal ya sharmian.
sharmian.
ladaya 'iiltihab fi dhiraeay; 'afdal allaeib mae mardian.
kilyubatra.
wakadhalik laeibat aimra'at mae alkhasy
kama hu alhal mae amra'ati.--taeal, sawf taleab maei, ya sidi?
mardian.
biqadr ma 'astatiei, sidti.

I think when Jeff Bezos founded AZ Billiards, he always intended to expand overseas

It's only those pesky Euro bureaucrats who stand between Jeff and world billiard domination. Well, and the Chinese.

Yes, I was just watching a NYE, orchestra concert from Vienna, and the host said that Brahms and Strauss played billiards together. I thought that was a fun fact to post, and them was also surprised they limited it to U.S.
