Seed data in the corpus. 4,998 of 5,000 respondents (99.9%) are generated, not people, and they are counted in every figure on this site — the map, the nation atlas, the blocs and the phenotype shares alike. Figures here are therefore not yet a measurement of any population. Real answers are being collected alongside them and this notice shrinks as they arrive. How the seed was built →
