A new map has “revealed” what every country is best at, throwing up some shocking pair up that will leave some countries “red in the face”.
For instance, the map ranks Pakistan as best at gay porn and Honduras for murder, while Libya is in for fat children.
Nigeria, often ranked for undesirable things, however, claims a positive spot, ranking for… wait for it… Scrabble players.
The United Kingdom is for the billionaires, Togo for unhappiness, and Sudan beats Nigeria to rank for oil dependency.
According to the map, Zimbabwe is best at languages (sorry, Robert Mugabe), South Africa shows up with death and Swaziland for HIV.
The map is designed and published by Information Is Beautiful, a visual website “dedicated to distilling the world’s data, information and knowledge into beautiful, interesting and, above all, useful visualisations, infographics and diagrams”.
The map, entitled “International number ones… because every country is best at something”, relies on data from the CIA, the World Bank, UN, Bloomberg and Forbes, among others.
