World’s Hottest, Coldest, Richest And Poorest Countries by honeric01(m): 1:17pm On Feb 04, 2015
WHAT does it take to be number one? From the hottest place in the world, to the richest, to the biggest drinkers and the most sexually satisfied ... these places are ranked number one in the world for what they do best.

Here is a selection of the list of winners from Distractify .

The hottest place on Earth

The sizzling title of the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth goes to Death Valley, California where on July 10 1913 it hit a top temperature of 56.7 degrees Celsius.

The coldest place

On the high ridge of east Antarctica the temperature plunged to a brain freezing minus 94.7 degrees Celsius in August 2010.

The longest life expectancy

According to the World Health Organisation’s study from 2013, Monaco tops the charts for longest living citizens, with an average life expectancy of 87.2 years. Men in Monaco live an average 85.3 years, and women live to an average of 89 years.

The most sexually satisfied

Believe it or not, Switzerland is the most sexually satisfied country in the world. From its liberal views on pornography and prostitution, to sex education that starts in kindergarten, more than twenty per cent of the population considers their sex lives “excellent” according to a recent survey.

The least sexually satisfied

Super conservative and the least sexually satisfied goes to the people of Japan. Only 15 per cent of Japanese reported having a fulfilling sex life and more than 45 per cent of its women said they were either uninterested or despised sexual contact.

The wealthiest city

Maybe this is why Japan is so sexually unsatisfied, they’re too busy working. Tokyo takes the gong as the wealthiest city in the world with a GDP of $1630 billion.

The poorest city

Imagine living on less than $1 a day. That’s the sad reality for the people of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As the poorest country in the world it has a GDP of $59 billion.

The most caffeinated city

Maybe this is the secret to their good looks. The Swedes consume the most caffeine in the world averaging 388 milligrams of caffeine in their coffee per person per day. That’s almost five Red Bulls. Did someone say wired?

The drunkest city

They have to fend off those freezing temperatures somehow. Belarus knocks the rest of the world off its feet as the biggest drinkers. Each person above the age of 15 drinks on average 17.5 litres of pure alcohol per year.

The wettest place in the world

You’ll need a serious pair of gumboots and wet weather gear in this country. Mawsynram in India averages 11,871mm of rain per year, and in 1985 had a record 25,400mm.

Youngest country in the world

The people of South Sudan were formally recognized as an independent country in 2011, making it the youngest country in the world to-date. Unfortunately the young country is crippled by hunger and civil war.

Highest point in the world

Soaring 8848m into the sky, the famous and deadly peak of Mount Everest is the highest point on Earth.

Literally on top of the world.

Most expensive country to live in

Singapore has knocked Tokyo from first place to become the world’s most expensive city to live in. Purchasing a car in Singapore is around five times the cost of one in Australia and rent is seriously expensive.
