#3 IIRC DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > OFFICIAL: PAKISTAN HAS NUCLEAR WEAPONS BUT IS STILL [very much] A BEGGAR NATION.

Military Progress, versus National Regressionism???

#4 I would argue that rankings like this are manifestly unfair to a country (I'm using the term loosely) like Pakistain. All the criteria represent Western values: GDP, economic well-being, freedom, education and so forth. If the criteria were things like seething, corruption, the ability to believe in multiple and possibly contradictory conspiracies, volatility, and general hatred for infidels, then Pakistain would be leading the pack rather inhabiting the flooded bottomlands of the civilized world.

#8 Where is Somalia?

On the Horn of Africa, milord.

Seriously, the report doesn't list Somalia, due to "insufficient data".

#9 the report doesn't list Somalia, due to "insufficient data". When they sent "data gatherers" into Somalia, none ever returned.

#12 You're right, SteveS. These cultural imperialists can't recognize their own bigoted value judgments inherent in the presumption that human existence should be any better than animals.

But hey, no doubt Pak is in the top 5 for Islamic purity. I wonder if there is a correlation?
