How many of us are there?
Anybody know of any real data, or data-driven educated guesses, regarding the number of TCKs/ATCKs currently living in the world?
Childhood homes: Caracas, Venezuela; Tehran, Iran; Zahala, Israel.

3 millions American workers and their families were living abroad permently or temporarily.
Over 6.8 million Americans, marked an identification with two or more races. This figure is much more if you include other countries.

We really should get ourselves an island then
We’d have more than enough people to live on it…

Actually, not funny. We are the Atlantans of modern day. We simply lack the island to lose… make sense?
And BTW, that’s Ezoteristzan. It’s a strip…

LOL
I had never heard of that strip, and never knew anyone else had used “Esoteristan”/”Ezoteristan” as a place name before! I was simply referring to a family phrase (which I thought we had made up) which we use to make fun of American monoculturals’ apparent inability to keep track of or properly pronounce the names of any of the many little countries that were created when the USSR fell to pieces. In our family’s comic-book imagination, the country is not an island, but a mythical state somewhere north of Iran, and south of Russia. You know… Kazakhstan, Kurdistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Esoteristan… As far as I know, it is nowhere near Atlantis!!
