Nigerian is best
at yam. Could it be best at eating yam, lol. I guess at cultivating yam.
According to Doghouse Diaries, the new map reveals the surprising things that countries are famous at.
The
map is based on statistics gathered from across the internet - ranging from
sources as diverse as the World Bank to the Guinness World Records.
Created
by online comic and website DogHouse Diaries, the
map shows what each country leads the rest of the world in and the words picked
- which are written across the country's geographical territory - are in many
cases surprising.
While Peru might make evoke images of Inca monuments and panpipes, according to the map, the country leads the world in sandboarding, a sport that involves surfing mounds of sand.
Other
surprising world leaders include Spain and its cocaine use as well as Algeria
who leads the way in middle Paeleolithic flake tool techniques.
However, some statistics confirmed stereotypes such as New Zealand being the best at sheep farming and rugby.
The
map, created by three friends based in Washington DC, also shows the
Netherlands has the tallest people on average, Canada leads the way in the
production of maple syrup and the U.S. eats the most hotdogs.
Spain is known for its cocaine use and Latvia for having the most women per man in the population |
People in Chile are best at staying married, while those in Chad are the most
efficient at not wasting electricity, according to the map.
Canada is the leader in maple syrup and asteroid collisions while Honduras is the murder capital of the world |
It
also shows that Costa Rica leads the way in happiness, while people living in
Ireland have the best quality of life.
More
sinister findings reveal that Turkmenistan is a world leader in corruption and
the UK leads the world in fascist movements.
Brazil was the best at Fifa World Cup titles but Chile was crowned with the unusual title of 'Best at staying married' |
The makers of the map came to their conclusion about the UK by looking at the number
of distinct fascist groups that have existed over the years, with 34 groups
having existed in the UK according to their source, although the vast majority
have dissolved.
In
terms of natural disasters, Mexico also has the most people who have been
struck by lightning, while Canada has endured the most asteroid impacts and
Cameroon has the deadliest lakes in the world.
