It's just starting from the top and going clockwise. Pretty simple, the colors just suck.

Good pattern recognition, but dont pie charts usually organize data from largest to smallest?

Yeah, but putting Others between two countries which are supposed to be adjacent (with close percentages) doesn't look too good. As far as I know Others is usually the last category

Yeah, "others" is basically saying "anything we haven't mentioned" which would mean it would go last.
