The combined estimated total population of those countries would be roughly around 4.6 to 4.7 billion people.

After taking a look at the map, this sounds very, VERY off.

Right? I was too lazy to double check, but yeah, the original claim seems absurd considering it's missing at least the top 5 most populated countries representing nearly 4 billion people.

Only off about 3 billion or so, not that far!
