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.
