Highest________ per capita in the world....

Zimbabwe has the world's highest number of orphans per capita, primarily because of the country's HIV/AIDS epidemic, UNICEF spokesperson James Elder said on Sunday, AFP/Mail and Guardian reports.

Switzerland is a good place for scientists. It is the origin of special relativity (1905) and the World Wide Web (1990), is associated with 105 Nobel laureates, and boasts far more Nobel prizes per capita than any other nation. It also has the world's highest number of publications per capita, the highest number of patents per capita, the highest citation impact factor, the most cited single-author paper, etc, etc. Switzerland also got the highest ranking in the list of happiest countries.

CUBA...The country also ranks first worldwide with the highest number of teachers per capita and the lowest number of students per classroom. Cuba is today the country with the highest number of doctors per capita in the world, with almost twice as many as those that follow closer.

Cambodia has one of the world's highest number of amputees per capita - about one in 275 people.

How many golf courses are there in New Zealand?419, which is the second highest number of courses per capita in the world. Scotland has 543 courses for just over 5 million people.

Auckland is the gateway to New Zealand for most International travellers and the largest city in New Zealand. The city has been named by many international survey reports as being one of the top 10 cities in the world to live in. Much of Auckland is built on extinct volcanoes which are now hilly parks and gardens where you can get wonderful 360 degree views of the city. Auckland sits between two large harbours and therefore has the highest number of boats per capita in the World - it is not known as the 'City of Sails' for nothing. Actually, yachting berths in the Hauraki gulf are said to be some of the most expensive in the world.

Canada has the highest number of ATMs per capita in the world and benefits from the highest penetration levels of electronic channels such as debit cards, Internet banking and telephone banking.

... numbers of rapes rose to over one million in 1998, giving South Africa the dubious privilege of having the highest number of rapes per capita worldwide. ...

Some Jamaicans like to say with much delight that we have the highest of number of churches per capita in the world. We also have the highest number of murders per capita in the world.

Greece has the highest number of smokers per capita in the world but its Games were also supposed to be non-smoking.

WOW the list is getting neat.....I will hunt for more later. I need to go make a living now.
