This Funny World Map Shows What Every Country Leads The World In

Jan 10, 2014, 17:44 IST
A wonderful map created by William Samari, Ray Yamartino, and Rafaan Anvari of DogHouseDiares illustrates what every country does better than every other country. They collected the information from various sources and sprinkled in some quirkier rankings since many countries led the world in multiple things.

"Myanmar leads the world in 'Speaking Burmese.' That's kind of a silly thing but still true," Anvari told BI. "UK leads in fascist movements, but that's all movements in history, not active movements."

(Some of the categories are hard to read so we published the full list below the map.)
