I hope the methods section clarifies how we got the data without blocking the system (at the cost of not being able to cover all countries/embassies).

(Unfortunately, I don't have time to build a scatter plot with labels right now, but you should be able to infer the countries from Figure 4)

Quick answer: The correlation remains signficant.

But perhaps more importantly, I think it's important to keep these countries in the picture. The wait times of the people who live there there are part of the global empirical reality, and they are rendered invisible far too often.

We argue for a transparency initative (publish current wait times online) and a fairness & efficiency initative (take measures to shorten and balance wait times globally) to improve the situation for applicants from the Global South and increase satisfaction with the application system.

- In 44% of requests, no appointment was available

- There chance to find an appointment varied a lot between countries and ranged from almost 0% and 100%

- The wait time varied from 0 to 98 days

-> Enormous differences between German diplomatic missions and the variance is systematic, not random
