    I’m not so sure I would trust any statistics from a map that’s missing New Zealand.

    It would be nice if there were a year attached to this. Is this supposed to be based on the current day? Or was this map put together several years ago?

    There should at least be a decade listed, as birth trends today aren’t going to be identical to trends from the recent past. For example, China only ended their “one child policy” in 2016. If this map were made before that, it might need an update by now.

      11 people were born there. That’s a ~0.00000000133649348822 chance. Small but not impossible.

      A very rare prize for sure, but is it very valuable too? Considering the wildlife there I’m not so sure.

    It’s not zero for Antarctica, just nearly zero. 11 people have been born in Antarctica. Mostly argentinians but also a couple chileans.

      Okay and that would still be less than 0.00% which is the significant figures on the chart. They can’t just put 0.01.because 11 out 8 billion people were born there.

        They could have put <0.01 but either way there’s no real society/culture there to bwgin with. I personally wouldn’t have even included it on the map.

        I will say if they were included on education stats, they would probably top all global charts.

      The people that were born there each had a 100% chance of being born there. Actually, that’s true for all areas.

      It’s crazy they did include a bit of Russia near Alaska and also bothered to add the Galapagos (where nobody lives) but omitted NZ
