I received my adorable little The Economist 2007 Facts and Figures handbook yesterday in the mail. Thought I'd share with you something interesting factoids that you might not have known to be true.
- Best air quality score: Uganda
- Worst air quality score: Bangladesh
- Highest concentration of ozone: Belize
- Highest life expectancy rate: Andorra (can someone tell me where Andorra might be located?)
- Highest military spending (as a % of total GDP) - North Korea, at a whopping 25%
- Most expensive office space rental: London (west end neighborhood) at about $2000 per square feet. Damn! New York (at about $575/square feet) seems cheap in comparison.
- the US doesn't even place in the 40 countries with the highest % of women in the workforce
Maybe some of these will come in handy for quiz night!
