Why does this country (South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands) show "NaN%" of users in world map in statistics page?

Thats very weird. scratch still counts country with low users.

Not a real country?

“NaN” stands for “Not a Number”, for more info, see NaN (Wikipedia)
Really though it's probably just an issue or there's genuinely nobody there

Yeah but Antarctica shows as 0%.

No scratcher from that country?
I've seen few countries (like Somaliland) which showed like there are 0 no. of scratchers in there. But these is not the case with this country. Also I saw many users have this as their location on their profiles.

I’d assume it’s because a lot of scratchers use that as a cover location and the ST doesn’t want them in the stats.

Antarctica is 0% because the ST sets it that way.

Antarctica as a location is used for Scratchers that don't want to give away their location. Mentioning them in the stats page would be self-defeating.

My guess is that it was added as a location option after they last updated that statistic, a lot of the statistics page is known to be outdated afaik

oh neat thats my location

Probably a glitch, should we move this to BaG?

Don't worry, the topic is still relevant so it's not necroposting.

It's actually a British territory, not a country.

Yeah, this is most likely correct. The Wiki article says that the latter island is uninhabited and there are no permanent residents on the former.

Even so, the number should be 0 and not NaN, other uninhabited areas have their numbers as 0. It is most likely just a bug that it says NaN instead of 0. It's probably not possible to know exactly why, unless you are a developer/have access to the site's code.

It's because of some janky JavaScript somewhere
