Hello stumpedboston, Indeed, Luxembourg is currently first in GDP per capita, as well as GDP (PPP-purchasing power parity) per capita.

It should be noted that Nationmaster.com has many inaccuracies. For instance if you check the 'most murderous' link you will see that the United States doesn't even show, however according to the FBI's numbers http://www.fbi.gov/filelink.html?file=/ucr/cius_03/xl/03tbl01.xls the US should be # 11 with 0.7 murders for every 1000 people I have brought this and other statistical issues up to nation master and they choose not to fix them. |
