If You Have Choice then Which part would you choose to be born in?
(piefedimages.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com)
You can choose which part you want, however where exactly is random based on the birth rate (if a region has a higher birth rate it is more likely that you are born there). What part would you choose and why?
Beat meat to it!
I can't tell if everyone else got whooshed, or if we're getting whooshed.

Holy shit that's a sneaky one
FUCK
K seems like the "safest" option.
Flying venomous poisonous 48-legged spider-roo might change your opinion.
No one said anything about having to stay there, and Australia-only at least basically guarantees the option, unlike let's say many African countries.
They seem to do fine in spite of it, honestly. And no large predators of any kind.

K is the only area you're guaranteed to be born into a first world country, therefore giving you better passport privilege to move where you want to go if you don't like it.
Yeah but you might be born as an aboriginal tribe member, which the Australian government isn't exactly the nicest towards.

Monkey paw, you get born as a fish, and spawn-captured/killed immediately.

K is honestly the only truly safe option.

I'm at a loss.
K is clearly the best, but E is underrated. Some highly developed countries there, just have to hope you won't get Myanmar.

K
Gotta go with B. The US might be shit and you might be out of luck in Mexico too. But you'll still be able to earn enough to emigrate somewhere else.
E would be close second for me. China, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand aren't bad. But you might get unlucky and end up in Burma.
B contains mostly lower population areas in the US and Canada, if you go with B you're almost definitely gonna be in Mexico.
A is interesting, you have a good chance of being in the US/Canada or western Europe, but it also contains a fair portion of heavily populated areas in western Africa that might not be ideal.

I like G. I've always wanted to be a deep sea creature.
You're all cowards I'm rolling the dice on C and I'll be chilling in Tokyo with my waifu body pillow while yall get eaten by snakes in K.
I was born in C, not recommended.

Restrictive firewall, no porn, hard to get western media, so you'd be stuck with ww2 sino-japanese war tv drama or some cringe romance stuff.
With a population of 1.4 Billion (well, minus the area covered by "E"), you'd most likely end up there.
Did I even mention video games? Yea... that's gonna be tough to get, definitely no online multiplayers (even if you somehow got a VPN, the ping is gonna kill you).
And your VPN could fail at any time even if you do get it.
Also, OP didn't specify you get to choose your gender, so if you're born as a woman in Japan... good luck. (Don't ask why camera shutter sounds are mandatory on Japanese Phones)

People around here seem so scared of south america. It's mostly a nice place to live.

K. Australia is quite chill.
The swooping magpies might be an issue though.
