I don't remember seeing it before, so, for fun, here're frequencies of haplogroups in FTDNA tree (not projects) by flags, which are based on the self-reported MDKA's locations. Although these frequencies are based on about 84,000 samples, they don't necessarily represent modern frequencies in all cases. Perhaps the J1 frequency in Eastern Europe is a nice example, as it's so frequent among Ashkenazi. Many fled to America, where DNA testers seem to concentrate.
Plus, we should expect some biases, especially in the cases there're important regional variations. For example, the R1b % for Italy based on FTDNA tree, lower than expected, may be related to the fact that most of the FTDNA testers with Italian patrilineal ancestry are Italian-Americans, who in turn descend mostly from South Italians, as far as I know.
So, the %s suggested for Europe as a whole, based on male populations in each country, are just references, and they should not be taken literally. The scope is FTDNA tree. It seems an interesting approach anyway, because it doesn't make sense to average %s of countries with very different population sizes.
I've included Turkey out of curiosity, since part of it is located in Europe, but I didn't use it for estimating %s in Europe.
For determining the % of certain macro-haplogroup for certain flag, I simply divided the number of testers who informed this flag and who belong to this haplogroup by the number of testers associated to the same flag in the root haplogroup A-PR2921. The data is from two days ago.
For example, there were 7468 R1b testers under the English flag, and 13768 under the A-PR2921. It'd mean that abt. 54% of the FTDNA testers under the English flag belong to the haplogroup R1b.
I used another FTDNA tool, but the numbers could be checked also here, apparently: https://www.familytreedna.com/public/y-dna-haplotree (see Country Report).
It seems to work well for macro-haplogroups, but the estimations may become more complex when it comes to low level haplogroups.
