That definitely makes sense. Why would some bloke in Britain say he could do magic while he's been taught it's been bull his entire life, when compared to somebody from a less educated country who has a more open mind when it comes to science and magic mixing.

I personally believe more rural areas in first world countries pump out more casters. Third World countries tend to be very religious, and other than the occasional Witchdoctor, magic is usually outlawed. However more rural areas tend to not care about magic users, and usually just have a few superstitions.
