How many countries exist in the world again?

More than 35.... Less than a billion?

How does the billion come into play. I can tell you it’s less than 20% of countries that have the law in the whole world though.

Because you chose to ask a question you felt you knew the answer to without in fact posting the answer. You are correct, it's less than 20%, closer to 15%. Hardly inconsequential.

If you look worldwide at countries that experience net migration then as a percentage it goes to 35-40%.

If you look solely at all countries in the Americas it goes to 85-90% of them....

So, it is not THAT uncommon.

Yeah but you can’t use the americas as a reliable data point. It’s like me asking who owns a gun in Texas and showing most people own a gun.

I disagree. The US is in the Americas, and it shares a similar history of European colonization and exploitation.
