Is the Standardized place "World" supposed to exist?
I came across it being used as the birth place of a person and I was not sure it was supposed to be used. I similarly found the place "At Sea" though that may have more use. It causes me to wonder if there are more places like these.

Yes, "World" is a special place, and is the topmost parent in a jurisdictional hierarchy. However, I cannot think of a use case where a person's birthplace should be "World". It could be used as the place where a global event took place, such as World War II.
Often, when a child is born on-ship the birth place will be recorded as "at sea", since it occurred in no country.

That's what I thought for "at sea." Good to know about the "World" place since I didn't really think of it being used that way. For that particular person I was able to change the birthplace to an actual location. Thank you for your answer.
