Would it be possible (either in Javascript/AJAX or PHP) to get some twitter data (preferably some hardcoded hashtags), but based on countries? Does Twitter give you this kind of information?
Basically, I want something like: “How many users used the tag #sex grouped by country and show only top 10 countries”
One solution would be to get all tweets with #<country> and then see how many also contain #sex, but that would mean to get a huge amount of tweets.
I have used the Twitter search API documented here:
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/search
To do something similar to what you are asking, I use the geocode attribute, which allows you to return tweets within a certain radius of a long/lat point. My example below returns tweets within 350miles of the centre of England.

Hope this points you in the right direction.
