    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.

    Remember everyone: 100.00% does not mean all, and 0.00% does not mean none, just like 50.00% does not mean exactly half. They all are accurate to 0.005% points.

        IIRC Argentina facilitated a few births on the outlying islands to make a point. Usually kids are avoided in such a harsh and precarious place, though.

    With all the scientists and cruises that tour around Antarctica, I am not convinced that the chances of being born there are a flat 0. It might be less than 1% but no way it’s 0.

    At least 11 babies have been born in Antarctica.

      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)

            Indeed, they make BOTH. If you haven’t tried their root beer, you need to. I can’t drink any other sarsaparilla/sassafras beverage now.
