Hi David,
Atlas is wrong here, because its back-end service Onionoo uses
an
outdated GeoIP database. I'll look into updating it today.
Recent Tor clients use an updated GeoIP database which resolves
these
addresses to US, JP, IE, US, AU, and SG.
Atlas, or rather its back-end service, now uses
a more recent GeoIP database from January 2013 that locates 3 of
your 6 relays outside of the U.S.
Best,
Karsten
(I can't say much about the rest of your question, and rather
than
guessing, I'll leave it to somebody else.)
Best,
Karsten
