Since when does any country on the planet define itself in reference to the percentage it is bigger or smaller than another? That sentence comes across as a pointless willy measuring exercise at best.

No, "per cent" is correct. Put it down to
WP:ENGVAR if you like - "percent" might be ok too but there's no reason to change it. 50% means 50 items for every 100 items, "100" is simply changed to "cent" so it becomes "50 per cent"; it doesn't suddenly become a single word.

Is there a competition to shove the now archaic term Brytish isles into every single article in Wikipedia?
Wikipedia really needs to take a good look at the use of archaic geopolitical language being pushed by a small number of its editors
