Re: Maps are fun, so is food.
The US version of that map would be very different and very boring.

Re: Maps are fun, so is food.
I don't think that means capital, or Salt Lake has 5 of them.

Re: Maps are fun, so is food.
I wonder what criteria were used to decide which cities would be the capitals.

Re: Maps are fun, so is food.
Then we have this:
What is your country the best at? - Vivid Maps
South Africa is best at death - seems reasonable.
Mongolia - velociraptors!
Britain - billionaires - whut? USA - spam emails - not really from Nigeria then?
Sadly, "very small countries excluded", for a totally unreasonable definition of "very small".

Wait, more up to date data from the original site

CORRECTIONS & UPDATES
» South Africa changed from Death to number 1 for Platinum (reason: more recent data just released)
» Canada upgraded to ‘personal freedom’ from ‘Facebook addiction’ (reason: better source)
PLEASE NOTE
If your country is not on the image, it’s either because
a) we couldn’t fit it in
b) we couldn’t find something your nation is the best at (sorry!)

Re: Maps are fun, so is food.
So the French are really whiskey drinking surrender monkeys instead of wine drinking surrender monkeys.
How did Latvia become number one in women though?

It's the gender ratio.
UAE's population is the most male, Latvia's is the most female.

Re: Maps are fun, so is food.
At first I thought UK getting billionaires meant the cookie, which would be appropriate. Then I remembered the cookies are called millionaires. I prefer the cookies to the toffs.

When we Euros and anglo North Americans think Columbia, our impressions are 25 years out of date. They've really cleaned up their act, Ecuador too. Last I heard, they and Nicaragua were two nations that used to be hell holes of crime but they both asked the Americans for help with police training and have really improved.
