This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

will be interesting to see when the 2025 map comes out.
Can you imagine if US and MX flipped? The prophecy of Mexico paying to build the wall could finally be realized.
There is one thing the article omits which is very important: the time frame. At first it looks like this is based on 2024 numbers alone but seeing 52 million for the USA (about 15% of total population) and 16 million for Germany (20%) made me check the linked source. The data was aggregated over the last 35 years.
It also is using absolute numbers rather than any kind of normalized scale. If a country of 5 billion people has a million leave that's not exactly the same thing as a country with a population of 10 million having a million leave. A lot of these sorts of things suffer from this problem where the maps end up matching very closely to maps of population density.
More people migrant into North Korea than out. Not very surprising, it's quite difficult to get out, but to get in you can just be kidnapped.
Ah yes, Portugal!
Portugal can into Eastern Europe once again
People moving OUT of Portugal? Moving INTO Argentina? Something is not right here.
argentina has a lot of immigration from other latin american countries
Yeah, I was surprised about Portugal. I think Argentina is still getting a lot of Venezualanos.
Hi, Venezuelan here. I'm just came to point out that is "Venezuelan" or "Venezolano/a".
Sorry. I have trouble remembering all the Spanish names for citizens of countries.
I mean I live in a lower class town in switzerland and a third of the town speaks portuguese. We get a lot of portuguese immigrants here, like A LOT. Which is great IMO, they make far better food than we do lol.
