What’s Every Country Best At In The World? Nigeria's Will Surprise You by LRNZH(m): 3:52am On Nov 30, 2016


Every country is the best at something; even if it’s a bad thing, like murder, child marriages or spam email.

The aptly-named Information is Beautiful website has sifted through piles of data from the UN, the CIA, the Guardian and a bunch of other places to compile a world map that awards a gold star to just about every country on the planet.

The accolades come in nine different types: Commodity (pink), Psychology (light blue), Ecology (green), Gastronomy (purple), Economy (gray), Nicety (yellow), Humanity (dark blue), Technology (red) and Nasty (black).

Some firsts are expected, or at least not surprising:
Sweden is #1 in pop music,
North Korea has more soldiers relative to its population than any other country,
Cuba leads in doctors per capita and
Afghanistan is the world capital of opium production.

Other world records we are storing for that pub quiz to end all pub quizzes.
Fastest wifi: Lithuania.
Most Facebook addicts: Canada.
Most Scrabble players: Nigeria. grin
Most languages: Zimbabwe.


Most diamonds per capita: Botswana.


And then there are those records are that surprising, or even downright shocking.
Did you know that the biggest whisky-drinkers in the world are… the French?
Or that the biggest cheese-eaters are… the Greeks?
That nobody consumes more gay porn than… Pakistan? shocked
Or that most brazil nuts are produced by… Bolivia?
(Brazil itself beats everybody else in sugar production).


Healthiest people on the planet: Singaporeans


Scoring a distinction in the black category is a reverse compliment.
Which country wants to be first in murders? None – but the accolade goes to Honduras nonetheless.
Similar blemishes on national records are noted for Namibia (most car crashes),
Eritrea (most child labour),
China (most jailed journalists)
and
Mongolia (most velociraptors – although that can’t be a current problem. Can it?)


World’s most positive people: Paraguayans

Looking at the map, one can’t help but feel that some countries could definitely benefit from being introduced to each other.
Like Colombia (most happiness) and Togo (most unhappiness),
Spain (highest LGBT tolerance) and Georgia (most homophobes), and
Zambia (most female entrepreneurs) and Yemen (most gender inequality).


World-leading innovators: the Swiss


Talking of which, these stats may be fairly random, but there does appear to be something good going on in East Africa re gender equality: most female entrepreneurs, but also most female workers and most women in parliament.

And the U.S.? It leads the world in… spam emails.
Take that, Nigeria!

Thunder fire the hand that made this. If country like afgan can be best for opium production, Nigeria will be best for something super extra unique to the century.

Piece of shit
Any crap from oyinbo is viewed as gold
So we who are Nigerians cannot tell that Nigeria at the moment is not about scrabble whatever but poverty, unhappiness with the present situation, no money no food?
