Want to know what each country in the world is best at?

It may or may not not be the most scientific piece of research and there is quite the whiff of stereotypes, but here is what one website deems each country in the world to be best at.

It may or may not not be the most scientific piece of research and there is quite the whiff of stereotypes, but here is what one website deems each country in the world to be best at.

DogHouseDiaries has compiled what each country excels at with a large map and the results are varying depending on where you are from.

We can be happy with ‘Quality of Life’, but on the otherhand the UK, Spain and Turkmenistan might not be best pleased with ‘Fascist Movements’, ‘Cocaine Use’ and ‘Corruption’.

Other interesting labels include ‘Sheep and Rugby’ (New Zealand), ‘Not Killing Themselves’ (Nepal), ‘Rhodesian Giraffes’ (Zambia), ‘Most Women per Man’ (Estonia) and ‘Bad Driving’ (Benin).

The site doesn’t say whether these results were picked purely from perceptions and stereotypes, and the map isn’t even 100 per cent correct from a geographical standpoint, but leaving aside all that,  here is what they put together.
