Minecon will be Europe (announced by Lydia). So this lets you narrow it down to European countries. There are about 60 European countries. Now lets cut some of the list
Vatican City = ✖
Svalbard = ✖
Aland Islands = ✖
Gibraltar = ✖
San Marino = ✖
Monaco = ✖
Liechtenstien = ✖
Faroe Islands = ✖
Guerensey = ✖
Andorra = ✖
Isle of Man = ✖
Jersey = ✖
Northern Cyprus = ✖
Iceland = ✖
Malta = ✖
Luxemborg = ✖
Montenegro = ✖
Cyprus = ✖
Estonia = ✖
Kosovo = ✖
Latvia = ✖
Slovenia = ✖
Macedonia = ✖
Albania = ✖
Lithuania = ✖
Armenia = ✖
Moldova = ✖
Bosnia and Herzegovina = ✖
Croatia=
There goes about 28 countries. Sorry if you live in one of these, but your chances aren't high. Check
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_population to keep along with this. Ireland to Russia are some of the countries that are more likely to have Minecon. Ireland is eliminated because its just too small. It is in the UK, and England is close, but for minecon, it must be the big place, not the place near the biggies. Georgia = ✖ . Norway is big, and so is Oslo. Norway might be a possibility, but why settle for a country with fewer people and not Mojang's birthplace? Sweden is bigger, Mojang's birthplace, and this will be the 5th minecon! 2010 (Seattle) 2011 (Las Vegas) 2012 (Paris) 2013 (Orlando) and 2014 (?¿?¿). So yeah. Sweden definitely has a big chance at becoming 2014 Minecon location. Slovokia = ✖ . Finland is same as Norway. Denmark is big, but I just don't think it would be worthy. Serbia, Bulgaria = ✖ . Switzerland isn't big enough, and is right next to France, which was 2012 minecon's location. Austria, Belarus, and Azerbaijan = ✖ . Hungary, Czech Republic = ✖ . Portugal is nice, but not big enough. Greece = ✖ . Belgium has a chance. Netherlands probably has a good chance, it has a lot of minecrafters. Kazakhstan = ✖ . Romania = ✖ . Poland = ✖ . Ukraine = ✖ . Spain is nice, and bigger than Portugal but not large enough. Italy would be very cool, but I don't think its very likely. United Kingdom, I would rate the UK as number 2 on my list. There is a big Minecraft community out there in the UK. Also, an English speaking country (Thats what language they speak at Minecon). France = ✖ (You already had your turn). Turkey has a decent mc community, but I don't think I'll put it as number 3. Germany is a large country, and I think has a nice mc community as well.
So I have a list I have decided of my personal guesses.
1. Stockholm, Sweden. Why? Birthplace of mc, decent sized Mc community, and maybe Mojang will do something special in their Hometown because its the 5th Minecon.
2. London, England. Why? Great sized Mc community with lots of people.
3. Amsterdam, Netherlands. Why? Pretty much same as number two.
Others, I think I give Berlin, Germany 4 and Istanbul, Turkey 5. Berlin and Turkey I think I have around equal chances.
Also, look at other Minecon locations. They all have something to do there. Amusement park after Saturday, its awesome (I went to 2013 Minecon )
Las Vegas = I don't know what they did after Saturday.
Paris = Disneyland
Orlando = Universal Studios
My three top picks I am pretty sure have something to do there. Also, my top 3 should have convention centers and hotels. And these ones are huge. I had never saw such a big convention center before in my life. (That doesn't really make it a big deal, but I'm just sayin).
If you read this all I thank you for your time and reading this.
If you have anything to add on or say, I really wanna hear (so say it please ).
