Moldova has one of the smallest artillery forces in Europe, and the highest rate in the world of death by powered lawnmower. Coincidence? Surely not.

Got a parking ticket in Finland? Better just pay up - it is the least corrupt nation in the world.
Sri Lanka has lowest divorce rate in the world - and the highest rate of female suicide.
Looking for geniuses? Head straight to Iceland. There are more than 3.5 Nobel Prize Winners for every million Icelanders. (Iceland sounds like a pretty nice place)

You're 66 times more likely to be prosecuted in the USA as in France. (this was for patty)
If you like kids, then Uganda might be the place for you. Half the population is under 15!
