The current pope (Francis) is from Argentina, making him the first pope to be from South America and the first pope from the Southern Hemisphere. In which continent will the pope after pope Francis be born?

This can resolve as North America :)

@Bayesian

@mods Resolves "North America"

I closed the market so @Bayesian will get a ping to resolve, as he's active but may have missed it. Bayesian? 👋

New zealanders in shambles

Is there a breakdown of where these Imperial Guards, I mean Cardinals, are from? Historically they were from Europe, but who knows anymore.

@KevinBlaw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_papal_conclave

27% of the world's Catholics are in South America. I'll happily buy at under 1%.

@GregoryG they had their turn, surprised Africa is so low though

What does this resolve to if he is an islander? Specifically, what continent resolves if it is Luis Tagle? N/A!

@JussiVilleHeiskanen it's asia-colored on the map
