West Africa and the south pacific I think are only places a GA has yet to be called from. And Russel M NElson said no one is called to represent there home country.

Antartica is not represented.

Also, Nigeria is close enough to count as being West African. Otherwise solid astute analysis.

Is it true that there has never been a polynesian GA? I had never thought about it but, if this is so, I find it truly remarkable, given the long history of the church in the area and the many examples of remarkably spiritual and extremely competent priesthood leaders I have come across who hail from that area.
