Aha not so, there is a Popular Worldwide sort. Popular is actually secretly popular games near you. Since there is nobody on Bouvet Island… well…

To anyone wondering whether or not Bouvet Island is worth having on this list…
Behold. Bouvet Island in its entirety. It is populated by moss, fungus, algae, birds, and seals.
Nobody lives here and nobody ever will. I imagine it’s a byproduct of the island having its own ISO code (as a result it has a TLD and an emoji for its flag – which looks identical to Norway’s flag because they are in fact the same place).
Probably not a bug for it to be listed as a location but it’s probably unintended behavior.

More follow up, is this also related to Antartica being a choice? Despite it never having a permanent population, only having seasonal scientists, which I doubt would play Roblox?

We shouldn’t be excluding anyone, especially not the poor scientists trapped in Antarctica. Why are you being so cruel?

He might be trying to say something like, there’s no internet there.
I have so many questions. Like why Brunei is not called Brunei, and instead is listed in Malay, as Brunei Darussalam. No other country is named in Malay, all are the English versions.
Pretty sure Roblox’s country list is probably from another source they just copied and pasted from. To answer the OP, this isn’t really a bug; however there are related issues, like popular [near you] breaking if you go to an area with an insufficient player sample size.
It might be worth making a bug report for the country list itself if you keep finding problems with it – would be better than making a bunch of small ones.
Pedantic issues aside, having countries misspelled is a problem.

I’ll make a large thread with all the issues compiled, then. Thanks for the suggestion.
@PeZsmistic could you lock this thread?
