This is actually percent of each population that believes in reincarnation

No it means there is zero percent chance of New Zealand

New Zealand is in stealth mode. We keep it off the maps so trump doesn't know it exists and leaves it alone

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

It's more proof it doesn't exist.

Or Hawaii.

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

Holy shit mum, im in the 1%!
Time to retire and enjoy my vast fortune of Tim Tams

Eh it rounds down at that point

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

Also there's penguins being born down there.

You never specified humans...

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.

And lets not get into the nationality thing there

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

Do you think it's really 7.66 for north america or is it nearly 7.66?

0.0000001375%!

(This is based solely on roughly how many people exist, not birth rates, because I ain't doing the real math for what is ultimately a rounding error)

hawaians are also mourning the loss

Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity

We'd need data on beings born on other planets to determine that. Currently there's a 100% chance that you were born on this planet if you're a human.

I did, but now I also know about Danny Quah's 2015 circle :)

So there's a chance I'll be born in Antarctica?

Fellow Antarctican?

It would be really interesting to see chances of being born across all time. Like what is the probability of being born here and now vs. somewhere else in the past or the future.

You would have to make some predictions based on population growth and maybe model a few different possible apocalypses (average species lifetime/meteor probabilities/nuclear doomsday/climate disaster etc.) but it would be a fun model to play with.

Underrated comment. Given that African population is rocketing towards a projected 2 billion, while Asian birthrates are dropping thru the floor (even India is now only at replacement), the data from this map must be out of date.

Antarctica doesn't have one apparently

Racism, mostly.

Continents are a human convention, not an objective fact of reality.

The 7 continent model most English speakers learn is one convention.

Personally I prefer a 6 continent model that combines Europe and Asia into Eurasia.

Latin Americans use a 6 continent model that merges North and South America into "America". Personally I think this is silly because there's no rational basis to merge those and not merge Afro-Eurasia into one mega-continent.

Which you could do. A 4 continent model with Afro-Eurasia, America, Antarctica, and Oceania.

There are also completely distinct ways of deciding continents. The conventional ones above are mostly "large contiguous landmasses", with a bit of a cultural overlay.

You could do a much more heavily culturally-inspired take, which would make Arabia a distinct continent, and the Indian subcontinent, and probably separate Northern, Eastern, and Southern Africa into at least 3 continents.

Another completely different way of defining it is, of course, tectonic plates.

And the final one I'll mention is biogeographic realms which, among other things, moves the split between Oceania and Asia from the border between PNG and Indonesia to (probably—there are a few alternatives) the Wallace Line between Borneo and Sulawesi in Indonesia.

None of these is really more correct than the others in any objective sense. It's just human convention.

Most of Russia is in Asia. A lot of the more visible people are in Europe. But there's plenty of groups living in the east. Man, sometimes I just think to myself, "someone's ancestors chose to live there". Idk which route they took to get to Siberia, but either way, they went through some pretty good spots and went, "nah, I'll go to the icy desert" lol

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasia?wprov=sfla1 mostly for historical reasons, but many consider Europe and Asia a single continent

Thank you for the replies.

Russia is part of Asia. Reasons include geography and the lasting impact of Mongol rule over the Russians. We witness the effects still today.
