But are every nations just like the world, are nations like USA affecting the structure of the web of the world?

Some interesting results comes out that nations like India and Vietnam have higher inlinks/outlinks rate than other countries, the inlinks and outlinks in those nations are more than other nations, but those nations have the lowest number of other nations related with their inlinks/outlinks.   I refer the paper as below: Chung, Sukwon and Shiowattana, Dungjit and Dmitriev, Pavel and Chan, Su (2009) The Web of Nations.
