Ive got a better idea...
Lets put the servers in Australia, so I get a good ping instead.
Perhaps you should research the network that is called the internet. The center of the internet world is the US. Australia and all of Australasia routes via the US to Europe, so basically, Europe is at one end of the internet, Australasia the other, and the US is in the middle. That is why international games are best off having servers in the US.
