The 1996 U.S. National Science Survey found that 27% of the ADULTS in the United States think the Sun orbits the Earth and 53% didn't know that it took a year for the Earth to orbit the Sun. Considering those findings, I would say it is a safe bet that some percentage of the population still thinks the world is flat

I believe there is a group called The Flat Earth Society.

Yes. These people are not necessarily from an impoverished nation. There are people who live in various "first world" countries who have heard people say that the earth is not flat and who still say that it is. Seriously.

I did not believe there is poverty in America until I saw it.
Similarly, there is a small percentage (how small?) of illiterate people you recognize by the same ugly graffiti on the walls of downtown buildings. I never ever tried to look at their minds, but am sure they could not even understand your question.

Yes,
Typically these people are from remote or impoverished regions of the world such as Yemen.
