ELSPA are Europe only, so I'd imagine it'd just be those regions first. If they're including Steam sales data though (and let's face it, it would be completely pointless otherwise), then it should be fairly trivial to divvy the sales up by region and supply it to partners around the world.
As an aside, in all the furore surrounding the botched release of Elemental, it seems to have gone relatively unnoticed that it sold 82,000 copies in its first week or so. I know a lot of those would have been pre-orders from people who lap up everything Stardock does, but that's still quite remarkable for a broken mess of a game with bad reviews and terrible word of mouth in a very niche genre.
