Comment(by cypherpunks):

 As a Belgian, any circuit that begins or ends in Germany is too close for
 me. It's all within the larger European law enforcement zone.  Perhaps
 !EnforceDistinctContinents is a better idea.  Or !EnforceDistinctSubnets
 can be configurable for /4, /8 or user defined ranges.

 What nickm said is that IX points are the threat. Why is there not more
 research done on this level?  Is it not core to Tor's anonymity?
