The 2023 Register of Spaniards Resident Abroad, compiled by the National Statistics Institute and the Balearic Statistics Institute, indicates that 34,923 Mallorcans were scattered across the globe in 111 countries. For the whole of the Balearics there were 42,811 Spaniards living abroad - also 3,759 Menorcans and 4,129 people from Ibiza and Formentera.
By continent, America has the largest number of Mallorcans - 18,504, of whom 6,611 are in Argentina, which has the largest Mallorcan community anywhere in the world outside of Spain itself. In the USA there are 2,428, the second highest number on the American continent. On the other end of the scale there are six in Nicaragua, five in El Salvador and three in The Bahamas.
In Europe, France heads the list with 3,381, followed by the UK with 2,966, Germany (2,611) and Belgium (2,530). There are eighteen Mallorcans in Russia and three in Ukraine.
Senegal is the number one country in Africa with 186, followed by Morocco with 150 and Mali (117). In Asia, Mallorcans reach three figures in only one country - the United Arab Emirates (156). The Philippines are second with 93 and then comes China with 65.
Finally, there is Oceania, where 156 Mallorcans live in Australia and 28 in New Zealand.

Richard PearsonWhen did facts and details suddenly become important to you? And based on your past narratives, I'd think you'd be double thumbs upping this one. After all, mallorquins are foreigners, and you seem to equate foreigners to "illegals", which of course, clandestinely arrive on boats (another one of your historically expressed obsessions). And it may only be circumstantial, but Mallorca is an island, surrounded by water, so it's only logical to assume all these illegals are most likely to invade by boat. So, actually, it should be me asking you if you're not feeling well.
Morgan WilliamsClue ? Who needs a clue ? The article is quoting facts, details and figures, published by the Spanish authorities. Your “boat people” statement makes absolutely no sense at all. Are you not feeling well ?
No doubt all illegal "boat people". It's an island after all. There's your first clue.
I wish Armengol was one of them
