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 →

A national figure appears only once that nation clears 100 responses on the question. The world column is a raw count of every answer received and is not post-stratified — it is shown because withholding it would say less, not more.
