Do some country TLD's tend to rank better?

Do certain country specific TLD's tend to rank better than others in the international search engines?

For example, does Google.com love .co.uk 's more than it loves .com.mx 's ?

 

I always felt that .us and co.uk performed the best out of all of them, just from observation

 

Yes, that's what I heard as well, but.. is there solid evidence?

 

The most common country tld's I see in search engines are .us and .co.uk

actually, I've never seen another country's tld in a search engine.

 

yes only few other tld's results we get from search results

 

we use co.in here in india

 

The country specific domains have varied weightages in the search engine results depending on the searcher's location. For example, if you have a .co.uk domain, then for users searching from UK, google will consider this site to be more relevant than for users searching from the US

 

That makes perfect sense. But say you're in spain and you search in google.com. I think google will be happier to show you .co.uk 's than to show you, say... co.in 's

 

What about .ca the canadian ext it ranks fairly in some cases

 

I'd never heard of .ca being one of the special ones
