If you come across a North Korean player on this site it has to be Kim Jong-Un because he's the only one in that country that is allowed internet access.

 

That's not so true. The other day I look for the list of north korean players here at chess.com and I even found titled players. How can we explain that?

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure all North Koreans on chess.com are Kim Jong-Un.

Maybe you can just fake your nationality here?

Or, perhaps he’s just pregnant.

Long ago in one of my old cities, employees at my bank were allowed to dress up on Halloween.  One of them got chided by HR for dressing up as a pregnant nun with a sign at her window "It's a Miracle".

That's only true by weight.

I crunched the numbers. If (As of 2019) Vatican city's population was 875, and the number of chess players on chess.com is ~100 million, and there are 7.888 billion people in the world, that means that 1 in 78.88 people play chess.com around the world. If you apply this math to Vatican city's population, there are about 10.45 people in vatican city who play chess.com. the chances of playing one in a chess game (assuming everyone who plays chess.com plays rapid 10 minutes) is 1 in 10,000,000, or 0.00001%.
