Keep in mind that EMEA and APAC are so big and many of the countries that are included are not as developed as NA. So it may be slightly misleading.
On the flipside, Korea might be much further developed and have better tech access, so take this with a grain of salt.

Formula:
The population of a region: r
population of a region: 50 f
playerbase: p
playerbase per 50 million people: m

r divided by 5,000,000 = f
p divided by f = m
m = playerbase per 50 million

Interesting.

Btw Puerto Rico is part of the north american region not latin america

Good effort.

Yeah, I don't think he lives in Puerto Rico.

Where did you get playerbase? The apac number seems high

Actually my bad, we play on some na servers but we also play on some lat severs. My account says NA#1 but our servers droplist says latam servers, it's so weird. We have a mix of servers from NA and LATAM lol

How is the playerbase per 50 million in Korea higher, than the total playerbase? Am I misunderstanding what you mean by per capita? To my understanding it should be (playerbase/total population)*50,000,000.

Can you give an example of how you calculated Korea.

I guess it doesn't work for Korea, but it works for other regions. thanks for correcting it

np, I thought it did work though.. I just wasn't sure if I had the correct interpretation of what you meant, I think I understood now.

For example:

f = (153,392/51,709,098) = 0.00296644122 (Players per population)
m = (0.00296644122*50,000,000) = 148322.061 (Players per 50 million population)
VS
f = (51,709,098/50,000,000) = 1.03418196 (People per 50 million units)
m = (153,392/1.03418196) = 148322.061 (Players per 50 million population)

It's essentially just the inverse operation. So what may have happened is, that you may have multiplied by people per 50 million units instead of dividing.
