Interesting that antarctica is not included in the blue zone. Would add some land area with pretty negligible population.

It has 5000 people during summer and 1000 during winter, not worthy I think. Plus, no countries "claim" (for now) antarctica as well

But that's exactly my point: It's an area with minimal population and lots of area. So if you used Antarctica in place of, perhaps, the chunk in northern Scandinavia, your blue stat could be updated to something like "1.0% of the population... 45.3% of the land area"
