Interestingly, according to this data, the country with most attractive citizens is Norway, which is also one of the countries with bigger breasts, and also on the second category regarding IQ. Also happens to be near the top countries most welcoming to foreigners. It is also one of the 22 countries never invaded by England.

    It's welcoming to foreigners? I thought the Scandinavian countries were famously xenophobic.

Also, as opposed to what the map shows, the Netherlands wasn't invaded by England, it was the other way around. William II of England was Dutch (aka William of Orange). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glorious_Revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glorious_Revolution Also, according to the maps, the Dutch enjoy greater freedom of press and possess larger penises than Americans. Having lived in both countries, it rings true to me. Not sure whether we can chalk it up as a pro for the Dutch though. As for penis size: we all know it’s about girth, not length. As for freedom of speech: the Netherlands has politicians like Geert Wilders, who continues to utter hate speech in public. Dutch courts seemingly have no way to convict him.

    On sea. Nowhere in that article did I read that England invaded the Netherlands. The inverse did happen, as stated previously.

    Hehe, the article started it! Also, having been born in the Netherlands and having lived in the US for a long time and having been in locker rooms on both sides of the pond, I felt I was in a unique position to comment.

      The size of flaccid penises (locker room) aren't really comparable, since they don't all grow uniformly relative to their flaccid size.

  How about during World War II? Quite a few Brits (and a lot of Canadians) died to liberate the Netherlands. That's technically an invasion, isn't it?
