This is from the plot summary of the Najica Blitz Tactics Manga:
Erm. We’re currently at about 75% of the Earth’s surface underwater. If that went down to 17%, well… I don’t think it could. All that water would have to be someplace. Anyway, if it did, nobody would be funding super spy organizations, building robots, or even buying perfume. The way this reads, they make it sound like 17% is a lot.
17%? What the heck were they trying to say, anyway?

Everyone hates Black Friday sales. Even retailers! So why does it exist?
Fable II
The plot of this game isn't just dumb, it's actively hostile to the player. This game hates you and thinks you are stupid.
Project Button Masher
I teach myself music composition by imitating the style of various videogame soundtracks. How did it turn out? Listen for yourself.

I think what they mean is that 17% of what used to be land becomes submerged.
If you’re into this kind of scenarios, check http://ykk.misago.org/ . It’s the most beautiful gem of post-apocalipsys.
Maybe it was saying that 17% was the only remaining land on the surface. Like, they were saying that 83% of the earth is now completely covered in water. Just a thought.
