Press any row — its specimen turns over on the readout ledge. No bests, no worsts: observations, ranked.
This table mixes vintages: each publisher carries a nation’s latest available year, so the observations here run from 2021 to 2024 — every row shows its own.
Press a row — the specimen turns over to its label. Bars are drawn to the highest value. Highest, not best: this page orders figures, it does not grade nations.
