There is no company register for French Polynesia in the current build. Arrivals here come from dated study-then-work moves and from research and reference records (ORCID, VIAF, Wikidata), so company roles are undercounted.

Counts are people with a documented cross-border move: an official register's nationality or birthplace, ORCID/VIAF/Wikidata records, or a dated study-then-work transition. Name-based estimates and heritage (ancestral) readings are not included in these counts. Groups under 5 people are folded into "Other".
