In order to hold an Olympics, a city needs a certain amount of stability and wealth. This can only be guaranteed in North America, Europe and parts of Asia.

Poor Aussies... I guess no-one could be stable who built gigantic bridges over harbours.

No, seriously, there are only a handful of European countries which would satisfy those criteria. Could you imagine the Games in Poland, Estonia, FYRO Macedonia, Romania, - hell, even Hungary - or about half the other countries in Europe?
