What each country leads in (or is good at) [MAP]
It’s interesting to find out what each country “leads” in, particularly when I saw Spain leads in Cocaine (.. that rhymes!)

This is great information.of China would be known for emissions. They’re population numbers are outrageous. And I’m surprised that Spain is known for cocaine.

That is HILARIOUS. We honeymooned in Ireland and, of course, want to live there. Excelling in “Quality of Life” kind of seals the deal, right?

I saw this picture on another site a few days before and I find it very offensive for a lot of people. It looks like a person with very limited knowledge about the world made it.

@Liliana: It’s based on actual sources of what each country is “good” at. It isn’t made up by some stereotypical person based on what they think.
Here are the author’s sources.
