Masonic Lodges (Freemasonry) per Country

Click in the image to make it bigger
A Masonic “Grand Lodge” (also “Grand Orient”) is the governing body that supervises and governs the individual “Lodges” of Freemasons in any particular geographical area or “jurisdiction”, (usually corresponding to a national boundary or other major political unit). Some are large, with thousands of members divided into hundreds of subordinate Lodges. Others are tiny, with only a few members in one or two subordinate Lodges.

Data from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Masonic_Grand_Lodges All figures should be accurate, however the USA is a close estimate (far too many figures to add up).
