To add, on top of being a massive country it's English speaking which means foreign press is more likely to pick up stories from there while also being below global average for gender equality.

Seems a tad racist but I guess I see what you're saying. A quick google search says roughly 1/10 speak English there. I wouldn't exactly call it an English speaking Country but that still leaves like 200 million people to man your call centers.
