For the 76th largest country in the world by area, and 22nd by population, I'd say the UK is punching well above it's weight on this list.

- wilfra 14y agoNot just on this list, in reality. The UK attracts the best and brightest (and richest) students from all over the World because of the quality of their Universities. The only country that attracts more is the US.
- maigret 14y agoStill the UK has a lower GDP/capita than Germany. You've got to wonder why.
- eli_gottlieb 14y agoBecause the UK makes very little attempt to actually employ or utilize its best and brightest -- only to filter them out of the general population. America has a less-severe form of the same problem.
