that's one way to kindly ask 27 - 42 countries/states with a population of more or less than 500 million: "helloooo, anybody there? are you aware? sentient? more or less conscious?"

America on one side, 27 - 42 European countries in the middle and Russia on the other side. (since the narratives like to exclude the great big rest of the world) impressive democracies and people!
