As you can see on this vertical chart, certain countries have been honored more than once.  Vietnam and Brazil won twice while Lebanon was the winningest country, making it to the Winners List three times.

We have divided the countries into five continents namely Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania. Using the data set from 2006 to 2020, it appears that all winners came from three continents which are Asia, Americas and Europe. Of the thirteen winners, seven are from Asia, four from Americas, and two from Europe. We have yet to see a winner coming from Africa and Oceania.

This chart illustrates that the Mister International pageant is more inclined towards Asian candidates. Whereas Men Universe Model pageant is greatly inclined towards candidates from the Americas.
