North Korea is probably "no data".

If these conclusions are backed by science, then they are based on the collection of DNA. A scientist would need to sequence the genomes of thousands-maybe tens of thousands-of random people from all across the country. The more populous the country, the more random samples would need to be collected to derive meaningful results.

...this imposes limitations on which countries could be analyzed. Smaller countries would be easier, and they'd need to be of some economic or scientific interest to justify the cost. In a country like North Korea, only the government would be allowed to collect this data. If they were willing to spend the money, I doubt they would release even anonymized results.

Weird that they would assign it a value of 2% if it's "no data"

[-] Tiral@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I can't believe it's even 2% TBH.

Any data would be self reported and pulled out of the dictators ass
