They not only screwed up their continent borders, but they forgot the continent of Antarctica. There are tons of researchers who spend months (maybe years?) living there while working. It's extremely low, but there's a non-zero chance someone could be born there.
I don't know if they allow pregnant researchers there.
No, not usually. IIRC the only births ever were at a Chilean outpost, and they were trying to make a nationalistic point.
Looks like there have officially only ever been 11 Antarctic births, and none since 1985. While you're right that it's likely non-zero, it's also probably zero.

That's not how math works.
It is when comparing to billions of births somewhere else.
You round it down.
No way it would fit into those two decimal points, though.
