A cell reading none in one of the five facet columns is a rule no spot at that place matches; in the Schools column it is a place with no school on file. A figure links to that facet's page for Greece where there is one - 5 of the five clear the three-place gate here - except in the column you are already on, and the Schools figures, which are counts rather than facets.

A place is here when it holds both a flat or lagoon spot and a wave spot, so a session can go either way without moving town. A country needs three such places before it gets a page of its own.
