I think it's interesting that the US has 7 Miss Universe titles, yet only 2 Miss World.

It just goes to show you that the universe tends to have a better perception of the US than do our neighbors on Earth.

Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and UAE under Nigeria? That is hilarious. I've been to all 5 countries and Nigeria would not be on my top 25 of places I like to live in.

I'd say that is definitely questionable....India? I'm sure it's great if you are not living in total poverty, as a vast majority of the country does. Same with Brazil....the poverty there is mind numbing...so is suprisingly the amount of guns they confiscate from people in the city of Sao Paolo. And Ethiopia? Wow...interesting list you've got there.
