I originally thought this was some delicious urban fantasy garbage, but it's just the internet taking the piss out of A book. Have the unedited.

I'm pretty sure this is often search engine optimization rather than any actual indicator of the content, because one of the biggest search terms in any given country or region will usually be the name of that country

Federally, both Good Friday and Easter Monday are holidays in Canada. Most provinces don't observe both though. See also how Family Day is not a federal holiday, despite every province having their own version.

The federal government is closed on Easter Monday which I guess is the criteria. In ontario banks and markets are open, but municipal/provincial government offices and schools are closed.

While I love Yu Yu Hakusho, I don't know many people outside of my age group that are aware if it's existence. Not to say it's obscure, just older.

In Germany, Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday are all holidays and on Saturday shops are open only for a few hours, which leads to a truly insane run on supermarkets on the Thursday before. Not great when there is a deadly disease around.

In Mexico it is very common for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday to be holidays, for example, but they aren't technically legal holidays.

The ranking is definitely Armenia, Greece, and Kurdistan, in that order. In addition to India, losing Indonesia and Malaysia costs Armenia another three hundred million vs. the circle, but it’s not enough to put it behind Greece. Northwestern North America is the cherry on top. Greece gets the most populous parts of Europe, Africa, North America, and all of South America, easily putting it over Kurdistan.

It turns out that someone made a webpage for this sort of thing. Greece and Kurdistan are closer than I thought. I get higher numbers for Greece, but the two may be within three hundred million. Armenia is as great as the other two put together.

Platystemon posted:It turns out that someone made a webpage for this sort of thing. But unfortunately we've got severe projection issues- straight lines on a flat map aren't the same between two projections. Where the line goes through India really matters. I eyeballed it twice, without putting a ton of effort in, and got between 1.6 and 2.6 billion people in Kurdistan. There are a billion people between these two lines...  I think the line more generous to Kurdistan is the more accurate one, but hosed if I know for sure.

Eiba posted:What a nifty tool. Use the measure distance tool on Google Maps to project a straight line that through the same points of coastline as the trifoliate map.  Closeup of India. The line really does cut it close to major population centres.  Now in the Columbia tool, make a segmented line that closely follows the Google Maps model. Both maps can be zoomed to hit the right places on landmarks.  Kurdistan wins.

I always forget how densely-populated Bangladesh is. It's only beaten out on population density by microstates, city-states, and a few islands.
