Petition for a second EU referendum in the UK

There is currently an online petition calling for the UK's government to reject the outcome of the EU referendum since the turn out was less than 75% and the winning margin for Leave was less than 4%. It is possible to download the data as a .json file. Part of the process of signing the petition involves indicating where you reside. The vast majority gave their residence as different parts of the UK. But some gave their location as outside the UK. The following is the top ten locations, the code used to get this data is available on my CodeBlog.

1. United Kingdom, 2401768
2. Vatican City, 36189
3. North Korea, 21616
4. France, 18225
5. Australia, 11585
6. United States, 11523
7. Spain, 11483
8. Germany, 6852
9. Canada, 4308
10. Gibraltar, 4043

I think it is possible that the second and third entries above represent people who were not being honest about their location - the permanent population of the Vatican City is about 1,000 and I doubt there are 21000 British citizens living in N.Korea, and even if there were that many they would not have access to the internet. The other entries are more plausible.
