How good is your country?

The rating methodology is absurd. Just looked at the Science and Technology ranking:

- Rating includes noble prizes which span more than a hundred years.

- Ukraine, Bulgaria and Bosnia are above the US. Don't have anything against those countries at all but it seems strange.

- Belarus is at 36 and Egypt at 45 while JAPAN is at 46! It seems the number of international students skews the data way too much(and doesn't seem that relevant for a science and tech rating)

What a ridiculous rating. Colombia is 31th. I'm sure if all countries from later places (ie. most of the world) would become just like Colombia the world would become a much better place. The whole thing looks like meaningless metrics with weights fitted in so that highest places look reasonable.

The 'source for data' is very poorly written. USA has a negative for culture, yet we export the most culture of all. Most of the world watches Hollywood movies/TV or has heard American recording artists. Why was it a big negative? No answers given.

Any ranking that has Ghana 6th for Prosperity & Equality has some serious problems with it's methodology.

#1 for "International Peace and Security" is Egypt!?
