Did you know that Rwanda has the most women in parliament in the world? Or that no country has as many pizza eaters as Norway? David McCandless from InformationIsBeautiful.net has put together a map that reveals what countries are best at and it will definitely raise a lot of eyebrows.
The data has been collected from the World Bank, United Nations, and other sources. It was then divided into 9 categories (commodity, psychology, ecology, gastronomy, economy, nicety, humanity, technology, and nasty) and assigned to each individual state (excluding the very small ones). It’s also worth mentioning that the values are either “mostly per capita” or “% of the population”. So which No.1 shocked you the most?

I just love how there's nothing going on in Romania lol
If you look closely on the map, we "support" the kidney transplants of Croatia :)))
I was thinking the same thing, Cristina. In fact, quite a few countries are missing from Europe :(
e.g. Slovakia and Czech republic :)
I came to the comments looking for this, and here it is, the first one :P BTW, nothing on Ukraine either... (and that's a pretty big country by anyone's standards)
Internet go home...you're drunk
best comment I've seen in a long time
The internet is like that one guy who instead of accepting that they're drunk and going home and accepting the hangover, they just never stop drinking

Internet: “Were you looking for djghabfjnsfdkbvdans or dsjafdjksafI’mNotDrunkdhagkjdansf” P.s. Read the last gibberish closely its a joke.
South Africa is good at dying?? Well, excuse me but people all over the world have been dying for millions of years and they are also good at it, even old people are masters at it
The whole map is like a giant distasteful joke.
Strange, it was changed on the website to Platinum. Someone made a funny.
Well you are not very safe when walking alone on the road so...
I've walked alone millions of times... and i'm still alive? unless this is my ghost typing this? The thing is, in certain areas it would not be wise to walk alone, but it's the same the world over!!! So over this bullshit that South Africa is the worst of the worst... i've seen worse and South Africa isn't it.
Oh so I assume you live here. Where are you based? I live in Cape Town South Africa and appear to be quite alive. This page is one big WTF. What about Aouth Africa is good at drinking wine because yeah we do that and don't forget beer, running from Elephants having a dumb president but hey that is nothing new since USA joined the party. Biased people, learn about your world.
