Numbers game

Colombia has the most murders per capita, with Russia no. 5. Australia isn't in the top 25 - hey, sometimes it's good to be last. We're 19th in the richest list, with the US at no. 2. We're no. 3 in most educated, and the US is a mere 14th - weak stuff. Bangladesh is the most corrupt and South Africa the most trigger happy. Plan your travel accordingly. These stats and more on hundreds of topics are at NationMaster http://www.nationmaster.com/. Sources for the figures include the CIA World Factbook, the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the World Bank, the World Resources Institute, UNESCO, UNICEF and the OECD. It's comprehensive, graphic and regularly updated. Good stuff. Posted by belinda at April 5, 2005 02:47 PM
