The web comic Dog House Diaries recently posted this map - click for the large version.
Though the map looks goofy, it is based on mostly credible sources which are listed here.
Some of the most interesting stats involve small countries so you really need to do some zooming and panning to see these. Here are some examples.
Most bad driving - this is judged by road deaths per 100,000 cars and the award goes to Togo - incorrectly placed in Benin. Yes I had to check that too to be sure they got it wrong.
Happiness - Costa Rica
Brazil Nuts - Bolivia, not that other place
Highest High School graduation rates - Portugal
Home ownership - Bulgaria
Highest valued currency - Kuwait
Use of social media - Philippines
Highest quality of life - Ireland
And finally the award for longest alphabet goes to Cambodia
You might want to get a hot drink and a Mohnflesserl and do some exploring.
