The Valeriepieris circle is a South China Sea-centered circular region on the world map that is about 4,000 kilometers (2,500 mi) in radius (roughly 6.7% of the Earth's total surface area) and contains more than half the world’s population. It was named after the Reddit username of Ken Myers, a Texas English as a second language teacher who first drew attention to the phenomenon in 2013. The map became a meme and was featured in numerous forms of media. The most common visual of the circle, originally used by Myers and also featured by io9 and Tech in Asia, used the Winkel tripel projection.

  • El círculo de Valeriepieris​​​ es una región circular demográfica centrada en el mar de la China Meridional en el mundo que tiene un radio de aproximadamente 4000 kilómetros (2500 millas) y contiene más de la mitad de la población mundial.​ Recibió su nombre del nombre de usuario de Reddit de Ken Myers, un profesor de ESL de Texas que llamó la atención por primera vez sobre el fenómeno en 2013.​ El mapa se convirtió en un meme y apareció en numerosos medios de comunicación.​​​ (es)
  • Valeriepierisen zirkulua munduko maparen gainean irudikatutako zirkulu-formako irudizko eskualde bat da, bere barnean munduko biztanleriaren erdia baino gehiago hartzen duena. Zirkuluak Hego Txinako itsasoan erdigunea du eta 4.000 kilometro inguruko erradioa. Zirkuluaren izena Texasko Ken Myers irakasleak Reddit webgunean erabiltzen duen Valeriepieris ezizenetik dator, bera izan baitzen fenomeno horrez ohartu zen lehena. (eu)

  • Valeriepierisen zirkulua munduko maparen gainean irudikatutako zirkulu-formako irudizko eskualde bat da, bere barnean munduko biztanleriaren erdia baino gehiago hartzen duena. Zirkuluak Hego Txinako itsasoan erdigunea du eta 4.000 kilometro inguruko erradioa. Zirkuluaren izena Texasko Ken Myers irakasleak Reddit webgunean erabiltzen duen Valeriepieris ezizenetik dator, bera izan baitzen fenomeno horrez ohartu zen lehena. 2015ean ekonomia irakasleak adierazpen hori frogatu zuen, baina zirkuluaren erdigunea apur bat mugitu zuen, ia Japonia osoa zirkulu barrutik at utziz. Halaber, proiekzio kartografiko batean irudikatu ordez, munduaren globo-formako modelo batean egin zuen. Gainera, kalkulatu zuen munduko biztanleriaren erdia Myanmarko hiritik 3.300 kilometroko erradio baten inguruan bizi zela. (eu)

It was named after the Reddit username of Ken Myers, a Texas English as a second language teacher who first drew attention to the phenomenon in 2013. The map became a meme and was featured in numerous forms of media. In 2015, the circle was tested by Danny Quah, who verified the claim but moved the circle slightly to exclude most of Japan, and used a globe model rather than a map projection as well as more specific calculations. He calculated that, as of 2015, half of the world's population lived within a 3,300-kilometer (2,050 mi) radius of the city of Mong Khet in Myanmar. In 2022, the circle was tested by Riaz Shah, Professor of Practice at Hult International Business School. Using data from the UN World Population Prospects of September 2022 he showed that 4.2bn people live inside the cirlce, out of 8.0bn total. The most common visual of the circle, originally used by Myers and also featured by io9 and Tech in Asia, used the Winkel tripel projection. (en)
