It’s not zero for Antarctica, just nearly zero. 11 people have been born in Antarctica. Mostly argentinians but also a couple chileans.
Do you think it's really 7.66 for north america or is it nearly 7.66?
The people that were born there each had a 100% chance of being born there. Actually, that’s true for all areas.
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.
It's a good reminder though that 0.0% doesn't have to equal 0
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.
And lets not get into the nationality thing there
