You can choose which part you want, however where exactly is random based on the birth rate (if a region has a higher birth rate it is more likely that you are born there). What part would you choose and why?

B I need access to Mexican food

C. It contains China's eastern seaboard which is the dominant prosperity region of this century. The stable long term planning and responsible investment into people is unrivalled and only beginning to pay back return on that investment.

Well considering my political proclivities E is a pretty solid choice. Just praying I don't get myanmar or Cambodia

Even if this wasn't included I was already thinking of this. A, C and I all seem like they have rather good odds at putting you somewhere in Africa.

Probably:

K>B>H>E>G. They all have decently developed countries whilst ensuring that you don't end up born in a developing country.

For the big slices, F should be best (guaranteed to avoid the worst outcomes).

Born in Antartica would be a neat second playthrough. Polar bears are hella scary but I would definitely boop the nose before I go down.

K > B > F > A > H > E in order of best to worst in my opinion.

I wouldn't really consider the others

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is there any land it G? Like is it just to small to see or is it a joke option?

[–] RmDebArc_5@piefed.zip 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There are some inhabited islands in g

K is probably most likely to be a good life. B is my second choice.

Are you a big fan of Mexico?

If I go F, what's the probability of being born in R'Lyeh?

[–] Jhogenbaum@leminal.space 3 points 1 month ago

Probably higher birthrate than the Antarctic

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (7 children)

K is objectively the right answer. Probably followed by A with a a bit of a dice roll on West Africa. Who wants to be born in a poor country?

I really like the concept here, but it needs some tweaking.

I'd pick E if I'd land in Thailand. H would be a close second.

K is out of the question with my arachnophobia.

[–] jwiggler@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

I choose I. Why? I-C-E-D. Free? Yessiree. Cold and totally bold. Aloned and totally stoned.

I is the place to be. I is the place for me. High is the state of me. I choose I.

Can't tell if D or E has a higher percentage of land, but your odds of being born in the water are high for G.

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

however where exactly is random based on the birth rate (if a region has a higher birth rate it is more likely that you are born there).

No risk of being born in water.

D and E has higher percentage of combat zones, so maybe not the best option.

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

otoh E contains active warzone and D two of them or more, depending on how you count
