From the Sea to the Sea to the Sea to the Sea to the Sea

Someone doesn't know about the great rebirth of 2026.

Death is on the rise, as is India's GDP. So don't rule out reincarnation.

One could say the map simply counted transcontinental countries as where the majority of the population lives, but French Guiana isn't colored like Europe.

Also interesting that the southern border of Mexico is apparently the border between North and South America.

It's part of Afroeurasiaca

I'm sure the massive number of people being born in Siberia makes this map completely useless /s

For this specific purpose it probably does make sense to consider Russia part of Europe. If we go by the common Europe-Asia dividing line of the Ural mountains then a large majority of Russia's population is in the European half, so most Russian births are probably in the European bit

The weird thing about the Americas to me is that only Mexico, the US, and Canada are counted. I don't think I've ever seen anyone that draws a dividing line between North and South America do so anywhere except at the Darien Gap, nor have I seen anyone put all of the Caribbean islands in South America. Iberoamerica or similar cultural region terms, sure, but South America the continent?

Babies gestate for 9 months.

since 80% of its population was in the european side

Western part is in Europe, east of the Caucasus mountains is Asia. Map is slightly ehh in that regard.

so you want an industrialization index?

I don't know if they allow pregnant researchers there.

Looks like there have officially only ever been 11 Antarctic births, and none since 1985. While you're right that it's likely non-zero, it's also probably zero.

No way it would fit into those two decimal points, though.

Just ask them why they cannot get laid 😎

might be similar reasons as the american settlers had, more hands for work offsets the extra mouths to feed.

Why are birth rates so high in these regions and not in more developed areas?

Development is exactly what makes birth rates go down. People also used to have more kids in developed countries in the past, and it went down the more the countries' development indicators went up.

The reason? It's not simple, there are entire theses over the subject and, likely, different causes, but roughly, it's lower education levels, more religious influence, less women rights, criminality, etc. For many people in poorer places, having kids is not an option at all. It "just happens." Actually choosing to have kids is something very recent historically and far from something universal.

If you can figure out the answer to this question, you deserve a Nobel prize.

Every country on earth seems to be seeing the same phenomenon: the more developed and comfortable life in your country gets, the more your birthrate tanks. There are lots of theories, but nobody seems to have a good explanation or know what to do about it.

because "developed nations" are filled with self-indulgent narcissistic selfish people who would understandably spend their resources, all that time and energy, for something more enjoyable than trying to breed some more self-indulgent narcissistic selfish 💩

The answer is that those regions are lesser educated and are less likely to know about or use contraceptives. Another is that many of those families hope to obtain cheap child labour in their farms and other itinerary trade. This is why the excessive birth problem is particularly pronounced in the more underdeveloped parts of these countries and not the middle to high class areas.

There are a wide variety of reasons that can be explored and discussed but the way you've framed the question suggests such a narrow worldview that one feels it would be a wasted effort.

Eurasia, then other Asia

Were you born in India?

It sounds like you're internally associating Africa and the US with opposite "goodness" evaluations, but you never explain which way and I have no idea why you think your conclusion makes sense.

How many of those countries have been subject to neocolonialism and CIA coups? Lots of people support politicians who want to continue stealing from and exploiting countries in Africa and elsewhere, so by that logic it seems to me that the chances are pretty high, actually.

I don't think enough people are being born in Palestine to accommodate all the American souls who karmically ought to be reborn there.
