Virtual Voyager #7 - Rank Order

How does your country rank in the world?
     Using CIA Photius Ranking (http://www.photius.com/rankings/), click on LIST OF COUNTRIES tab (top, right-side).  Then, select your country from the alphabetized list.  On your country's fact page, look at the blue column on the left-hand side to find and click on COUNTRY RANKS.  Read through the ranking information and choose 4 different topics to report on (for example telephones, exports, hospital beds, and female literacy).
     Then, record the fields researched, your country's rank, and WHY YOU THINK THAT IS.  (You are going to have to use what you know about your country thus far to make an educated guess.)

FOR EXAMPLE:  ARGENTINA

1.  Internet users in Argentina are estimated 10 million people and ranked 27th in the world.  I think Argentina is ranked 27th because it is geographically remote and establishing internet connections outside of major cities is very difficult.

2. Argentina is ranked 24th in roadways with 229,144 km.  In addition to the geography limiting the amount of roads in Argentina, I think climate might affect the usefulness of a permanent road.  Rain and flooding probably wash out roads.  Additionally, due to the climate, the number of vehicles might be limited (warm weather) and people walk, ride animals, or bikes.

3.  Argentina produces 745,000 barrels per day ranking 26th in world oil production.  The countries producing more oil than Argentina are the typical large oil producers and Argentina would have to have vast oil reserves to keep up with the production of countries like Kuwait.

4.  Argentina is ranked 135th in world infant mortality rate.  That means per there are approximately 14 infant deaths for every 1,000 live births in Argentina.  Other countries ranking higher on the list are undeveloped or developing countries that do not have the resources for supporting infant lives.  Argentina must have hospitals and trained medical staff to keep the infant mortality rate low.

  1. Mozambique

    1 - There are 613,600 internet users which puts them at 113 in the world I think this is because they are a smaller country and aren't the highest in the world but aren't the very lowest either

    2 - They have 4,880,000,000 in external debt which puts them at 119 in the world. I think this is because they dont have many partners of trading and are a very small country.

    3 - They are 17 in the world of people being below poverty line so that means they have a lot of debt but there people are still making money that they are above the poverty line and they might eventually have to cut back on paying their people.

    4 - They are ranked 38 in the world of unemployment rate which is really good i think this is because they don't have many connections to other countries and they have to do it all things themselves.

  2. 1. Infant mortality rate is 3rd with 103.72. I think it's because they dont have very good resources there.

    2. Population there are 10,085,638 people and the are 86th in the world. They have a normal size country they dont have very good health there and they dont have all the medicane there.

    3. Internet users they are raked 159th with 106,000 people using the internet. They don't always use the internet because they don't have time they need to work and get money for their family.

    4. Age structure 0-14 years old 15th 44.50. They don't have good health but they don't get sick that often.

  3. 1. Yemen is ranked 105th in internet hosts, I think its because they probably don't have good service or internet connection.

    2. They are ranked 101st in exports, They most likely aren't ranked to well because its to much money to send exports to any of the countries

    3. My county is ranked 19th in unemployment rate, I think they are ranked so well because they don't have to many people in the country but a lot of jobs to do.

    4. They are ranked 2nd in child under weight that is under 5, they are probably ranked so well because they have plenty of food to feed their young

  4. 1. Russia is ranked 5th in the world for airports. That means they have 1,218 airports in Russia. I think they are ranked 5th in the world because Russia can be a popular place to travel so they need a lot of airports. Also Russia is big and there is a lot of places to travel in Russia.

    2. Russia is also ranked 5th in the world for telephone main lines in use.
    They have 44,152,000 telephone lines in Russia. The country Russia is really big so they need a lot of telephone lines so they can talk to people on the phone instead of waiting to talk because there's not enough telephone lines.

  5. 1. Rwanda is ranked 168 for internet hosts. Their are only 1,447 people in Rwanda use internet. I think that's because they don't have to money or resources to get internet to a lot of people.

    2. Rwanda is ranked 41st for having children of age 5 or younger underweight. I think their raked that because they don't have very much money s they can supply food for the children.

    3. Rwanda only has 7 airports in their county. They are ranked 166th. I think that's because theirs not many people that want to come to Rwanda and because airports are really expensive.

    4. Rwandas rank for people who can read and write is 172nd. That's probably because they don't have the resources to teach the people and they probably don't have enough money.

  6. 1.I think that egypt is ranked 67th in the world for exports because they don't have a lot of stuff people need. Egypt gets 28,370,000,000 from exports every year.

    2.Egypt is also rated 67th in the world for how much debt they have. Egypt has 34,880,000,000 dolars in debt.I think they are in debt because they can't support themselves on their own.

    3.Egypt is rated 34th in the world with airports that have paved runways. They have 72 airports with paved runways. I think that the airports with paved runways are the offial airports.

    4.They are rated 62nd in the world for merchant ships. They have 67 merchant ships. I think they have a low number of merchant ships because they don't export a lot of stuff.

    POLAND

    1. I decided to start out with something that caught my eye. Poland is ranked 16th in the world in hospital bed density. Which, most likely, means that the country is old, or they fight alot in war, many injuries, etc.

      3. My country is ranked 25th in obesity, because of that they must not stay in shape or eat healthy, so kind of like us.

      4. Poland is ranked 53rd in unemployement rate at 21%.

  8. Greenland

    1. The female and male Literacy combined takes Greenland to 5th on the charts of countries for people who can read and write. That must mean that they spend some time working with children or adults with reading and writing because that's pretty good.

    2. Their taxes are pretty bad. They rank 7 on the chart for taxes and other revenues. I think that they must really need money to have people properly cared for and that's why taxes might be raised more often than not. I feel like they use that money for good but I guess I would have to ask people that are actually in Greenland.

  9. 1. It is estimated for their to be about 46 people per square km, ranking in at 161. I think the reason their is so few people is because a lot of them have been wiped out by the war.

    2. 3. They have a total of 29 runways with a rank of 90. I think many of those runways are in the middle of nowhere.

      4. They have a coastline percentage of 0 ranking in at 250. The reason they have a coastline percentage of 0 is because there a no oceans or seas surrounding it.

  10. 1 Lithuania made 5th place in electricity from nuclear fuels with a 25.2. I think this is a solution of having many chemical plants.

    2Lithuania made 9th place in land use - arable land with a 44.81%.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I think this is a result of having so many houses so there is less land.

      3Lithuania made 11th place in employment with male youth ages 15-24. with a 35%. I think this is a result of more maturity.

      4Lithuania made 12th place in literacy-female with a 99.7. I think this is a result of women loving to read or maybe loving to write.

  11. The Philippines are ranked 34th in the world for having 8,278,000 people using the internet. The Philippines are most likely ranked 34th for internet usage because, it is a remote country and it is probably hard to get connection outside of larger cities.

    Out of 196 countries in the world, the Philippines are ranked 6th in irrigated land, 152,500 km are irrigated. They probably need irrigation because the weather tends to be dryer in certain seasons, therefore it is harder to grow crops.

    The Philippines are ranked 99th in infant mortality rate.

    1. The Philippines are ranked 99th in infant mortality rate. So that means that for every 1,000 babies born, 18 die. It is probably because some islands are more remote than others, so they don't have the medical attention some babies need.

      The Philippines are ranked 25th in airport numbers. My country have around 247 airports. They probably need so many because of all of the different islands, and it is a tourist attraction.

  12. 1. Internet users in chad are ranked at 145 and 168,100 people can use it. I think that they are ranked this low because internet is not in range and its very difficult to get.
    2. The country of Chad is ranked at 143 in debt and is in debt of $1,749,000,000. I think that they dont have very much money so they have to borrow it, and they are a very poor country.

    1. Literacy- females is ranked at 184th in the world. I think because they are ranked 184th in the world that they are still challenged in the noledge for other people.
    2. Population growth is ranked in 90. That is good because they are not a very advanced place so they are growing slowly.
    3. School expecanty for females is ranked at 157th in the world They do not put persure on the girls to go to school because they are need for other things

I think they are struggling with reading and writting because they dont have the money to pay for them.
      2.Tanzania's transportation is ranked 34. they have a total of 166 air ports total. But they only have 10 with paved runways. I think they only have ten with paved runways because they dont have the money to make the rest of them with paved runways.
      3. their rank for Taxes and other revenues is 148. They spend 22.3% of their GDP. I think they only spend 22.3% of their GDP on their taxes and revenues then they either save or spend the rest on extra things.

    1- The Labor force is 37,900,000 they are 17th in the world. I think It is like this because there aren't a ton of jobs in Ethiopia and a lot of the people are to old or to young to work. many jobs don't pay well either.
    2- Age 0-14 male 20,342,615 They are ranked 11th. They have a lot of young people in Ethiopia the females where right up there too with 20 thousand.

    1)Cell phone usage is 25,666,000 they are ranked 39th in the world. I think this is like this because lots of people have cellphones and are to lazy to email or talk face to face so they use cellphones.
    2)Age structure 65 years and older for female is 773,096 and they are ranked 57th in the world. I think this is like this because not many elders are alive anymore. Maybe they died because of old age or got a disease like cancer for example.
    3)School life expectancy-total is 9 and they are ranked 166th in the world. I think this because these days a lot of teenage girls are getting pregnant and have to drop out to take care of their child.
    4)Internet hosts 26,074 and they are ranked 110. I think this is like this because not many people maybe can afford tv. the people who can also may not like to watch the types of tv shows with a host.... Like a talk show.

    Germany

    1. Germany is #1 in current account balance, witch means that the max money that can be held at the same time, at $208100000000. This to me means that the most is that amount because of their currency.

    2. Germany is #2 in median age, or middle age to live, is 44.20 years.

    We have 32 heliports thats 16th nationally I think we have so many because people need to get to us because we are so secluded.

    We are 9th in the nation in non used money. I think that we are smart so we save our money.

    We are also 5th in reserved gold once again we are smart and are getting lots of money saved up into stuff.

    Their unemployment in girls ages 15-24 is ranked 9th. that is probably because females weren't aloud to go to school till recently so they are not educated

    Serbia

    1. Serbia is ranked 57th for the number of internet users. They have about 4,107,000mpeople with internet access. I'd assume this because of Serbia's separation and late advancements.

    2. Serbia is ranked 69th for the amount of debt in the country, with around $32,600,000,000 in debt. They're probably so far in debt because they're a poorer country and need money.

    3. Serbia is ranked 169th in infant mortality rate, having about 6 deaths in 1,000 births. That's probably because they have good hospitals for births and good medical supplies.

    4. Serbia is ranked 98th in the world with the most population. Serbia's population consists of around 7,276,604 people living there. They have a lot of people living there.

    South Africa
    1. Telephones- For mobile cellular they are estimated to be about 64,000,000 people and for main lines is 4,127,000. I think that because South Africa is starting to become a bigger country.

    2. Imports- They are estimated for about $106,800,000,000 and are ranked at 34 and I think that because they get a lot of stuff imported to them

    3. Age Structure- 0-14 female is 6,914,246. 0-14 male is 6,955,602 it is ranked to be 26 for both of them. I think that because there is a lot of boys that are born in South Africa.

    4. Hospital Bed Density- It is about 2.84 and is ranked at 81 in 2005. I think that they probably have a lot of sick people and they dont have enough stuff to treat them all.

    1)Elevation extremes-lowest point is 621. Ranked number five. I think that Uganda is a low land unlike a lot of other countries.

    2)People live with HIV/AIDS is 1.2 million. Ranked #7. I think that Uganda's medicine is not developed enough unlike other countries like the U.S. for example.

    3)Infant mortality rate total (deaths/1000 live births) is 64.2%. Ranked 22nd. The reason the mortality rate is good is because Uganda has adequate needs for births but isn't quite as developed as other countries.

    4) Uganda has 46 total airports. Ranked #95. Uganda probably doesn't have so many airports because they don't really need a bunch of airports.

    1. I think that Madagascar's Internet users rate is low because not many people use the Internet in Madagascar.

      I think that Madagascar's Infant motality rate is so high is because more of the babies die than they live.

      I think that Madagascar's oil production is high because they use more oil.

    Imports in Belgium are ranked 17th in the world. I think this is because Belgium is a strong community at importing things that they need.

    Cell phones in Belgium are ranked 62 in the world. I think this is because a lot of people have home phones so they don't need a cell phone. I also think that this could be because there is little cell towers, and it is hard to get reception.

    Infant mortality is rated at 193. I think this is because they don't have a lot of the medical supplies they need to care for infants. It could also be because they don't have clean hospitals, and people keep passing around sickness's.

    Airports in Belgium is ranked at 99th in the world. I think this is because many people don't use airports. They can use trains, cars, or ride bikes to places, to get were they need to go.

  38. Portugal
    1.Oil export - Oil exported is 0, ranked 94 in 2009. I think they export no oil at all because the country dosen't have many underground oil deposits

    2. Population - 10,781,459 people live in Portugal. Ranked 77 in 2012. I think that they are ranked way back at 77 because even though it is a popular country it is also a very small country.

    3. Internet Hosts - Total of 3,748,000 internet hosts in Portugal. Ranked 28 in 2012. I think they are pretty high up on the list is because they are a well developed country and they have lots of people there so they need lots of internet service.

    4. Total area - Total area is 92,090 sq km. Ranked 111. I think they are ranked at 111 because they are a smaller country and there are a lot of countries that are way bigger than it.

    1. Denmark gets 34% of it's electricity from renewable sources. That is #1 among all countries. This can include wind, waves, solar, and geothermal energy.
    2. The school life expectancy for females is 18 years old. They are 7th in the world in that category. That means most females stay in school until they are seniors in high school or just graduated.
    3. The people in Denmark that die from HIV and AIDS per year is about 100. That ranks 133rd in the world.

  40. Taiwan
    1. The infant mortality rank on Taiwan is 186 and its rate is 5 infant deaths every 1,000 live births. I think it's this way because Taiwan is a healthy country and they have healthy babies.

    2. The literacy rank of Taiwan is 82. I think it's because that Taiwan is a country to learn but not everyone is on the boat at the learning process.

    3. Taiwan's rank for exports is 22. I think it's because that they are big in making things and have a lot of jobs.

    4. The rank of Taiwan for population below the poverty line is 157 with 1.16% in poverty. Taiwan is a big manufacturing country and have lots of jobs to keep people above the line.

  41. Iceland
    1. Cellular Phones- There are 369, 969 cell phone users in Iceland placing it rank 172, This is a very high rank so the amount of people using cellular devices are little, I think this is because they are so isolated and far up north they don't have quite the right climate for good connection.
    2. Unemployment- The unemployment rate is at 5.60% thus ranking them at rank 147, having a low unemployment rate is great for a country, I believe they have such a low rank because there job very in many places, also the small amount of people who actually live in Iceland.
    3. Fossil Fuel Electricity- The amount of electricity they use with fossil fuel are very little with a percent of 4.7% ranking them at 200, this also means the power they use comes from other resources I think they do this because they use whats available to them.
    4. Merchant Marine- Merchant marine ships are the amount of ships they have for exporting and importing, right now the amount of ships is 2 ships, putting them at 146 in ranking, I think they have so little amount of ships is because they don't have very high amount of exporting.

    1.Their average life expectancy is right at 78.29 years of age, which is ranked #53 in 2012. I think that they probably have good education for becoming a doctor and they have good doctors because that is a pretty high margine.
    2.They have a staggering low at only 4 airports, they are #190. This is most likely because this is a third world country that does not make a lot of money in a year after taxes.
    3.They have 94.6% of their population now how to read and wright. They are #94. This is probably because of the education and the work ethic of the students.
    4.Internet users are estimated around 419,500 and are ranked #122. This is right about half of the population. This is considerably low compared to us. I think it is an okay thing because most people this is all they do.

    Female Literacy - ranked 38 in 2012
    I think that they are 38th, because they have lots of smart people. They most likely have lots of good teachers and schools.
    Cell Phones - ranked 105 in 2011
    I think they are ranked 105th, because they are all too smart to be on phones. They have better things to do with their time. Such as, play sports, hang out with friends, do their jobs.
    Internet Users - ranked 67 in 2009
    They are on the internet at work, sometimes. The kids are probably on it when they get home from school. Lots of people need internet for their jobs, so if they have to work at home at night they will be on the internet, too.
    Electricity consumption - ranked 66 in 2011
    They would be only using some electricity at night and probably not much during the day, because most people are at work. Also kids are at school, so they won't use much electricity.

  44. 1. In Papua New Guinea there estimate people that use the internet is 125,000 users and they are ranked 152. I think that it si like that because it is one of the smaller country and that it has a-lot of islands so they might live on them and internet dose not reach there.
    2. They have 11,000 Km. and are ranked 11. I think that they are ranked 11 because they have water surrounding them.
    3. Airports - with unpaved runways - there are 542 and they are ranked 11. I think they are ranked that because they might not have enought money to build paved runways.
    4. They have 562 airport and are ranked 12. I think that they need airports so people can come and vist there country.

  45. China
    1.Internet users- Around 389,000,000 people use the internet in China and ranked 1st in the world. I think China is ranked 1st because they have a lot of technology to use the internet on. Also because everyone in China can easily access the internet where ever and whenever they want.

    2.Mobile cellular- Around 986,253,000 people have a cellphone in China and is ranked 1st in the world. I think China ia ranked 1st because people use their phones to get on the interent and thats why people have a cellphone. Another reason may be because its hard to find people in the streets of China so people use cellphones to contact others.

    3. Age structure 0-14 years(female)- 107,668,285 people of China's population is females from 0-14 years old and China is ranked 3rd in the world. I think this is because China is ranked 1st in population and since they have a huge population it just so happens there is a lot of 0-14 year old females. It also might be because when your younger your less likely to die so theres more younger girls in the population.

    4.Obesity- China is ranked 66th in the world for obesity. I think thats because China is a large food producing country and people think they need to eat all the food being made. It also might be because China doesn't have a good, strong fitness program or system.

    1) 319,900 internet users in Madagascar. They are ranked 127 in the world. They are a smaller country are from what I've seen and know it is not very city. People don't really need the internet there.
    2) They only have 82 airports and are ranked 68. They are a smaller country so they don't need a lot, but they do people like to come down to see the wild life. Sometimes people come down to help some of the people there.
    3)8,665,000 people have their own cell phone. They are the 84 ranked in the world. Cell phones are very common and really anywhere you go they will have cell phones. With things not that good cell phones are a great way to make sure everything is okay.
    4) 47 out of 1,000 infant born die. They are ranked 47 also. They do not have many good hospital areas. They are not the healthiest country out there. They don't have that much doctor things that they need just for everyday life, so they really don't have that much stuff for child birth.

  48. Libya

    1. Female Literacy - 82.7 percent of Libyan woman are literate. This ranks them at 136 in the world. I think that the women don't really have a chance to learn how to read because they're needed more at the house where they need to cook, clean, farm, and take care of the children. So they don't have a lot of time to go to school and learn.

    2. Airports (paved runways) - Libya has 64 airports that have paved runways. They are ranked 39th internationally. I think that because they have very few airports that are paved is because they can't afford as many as they might want to have.

    3. Exports - Exports bring in a little over 51 billion dollars to Libya's economy. I think that Libya has a wide variety of exports to sell. This probably brings in different countries to trade with, with more exports comes more money.

    4. Heliports - Libya is ranked 58th in heliports. I think that they use heliports, but not as much as say the United States. Also, I don't think that they don't really have a use for helicopters exept for maybe military use.

  49. Sri Lanka
    1. There are 3,608,000 main telephone lines in use, placing Sri Lanka at a rank of 44. I think that this is because the lands are low and flat, making good geography for the lines, but not a lot of people own telephones.
    2. Sri Lanka has a total of 91,907 roadways; they are ranked 49. I believe this is because the land is perfect for a lot of roads but because of the country's small area they don't have as many as larger countries.
    3. There are 18 airports in Sri Lanka, and they are ranked 138. I think this is because not a lot of people travel to the country and because, once again, the country is very small.
    4. The percentage of people in Sri Lanka that are literate is 91.2%, and they are ranked 123. Some of the poorer families in the country do not send their children to school, and education isn't stressed as much as it is in many other countries.

    2. Electricity exports- They export 21,590,000,000 kwh of electricity. Ranked 7th as of 2010. I think they are 7th because the country has a lot of open land where they put energy harvesting devices.

    3. Roadways- They have 127,797 km of roadways. Ranked 36th as of 2008. I think that they are ranked 36th because it has quite a few city's where they need lots of roads and long highways

    4. Literacy-% total- They have 99% of people literate. Ranked 34th as of 2011. I think they are 34th because it is a stable country and people are able to go to school without a war breaking out

    3. Australia is ranked 1st in school life that's good compared to other country's kids there must be really smart in that country.

    4. Australia is ranked 7th with paved runways in the airport that is good because then when planes are taking off the don't hit a bump or a hole and go off balance when taking off.

  57. Japan is #1 in public debt with 218%. This means they have the least amount of debt of any country. I think this is because they make lots of high priced items like computers and some cars. This brings in income to help pay off the debt.

    In obesity percentage Japan is ranked 65 with 3.10%. I think this is because There are some McDonald's and other fast food restaurants but maybe not as much.

    Japan is ranked 3rd in internet users with 99,182,000 users. This means that the people in Japan use the internet less than only 2 countries. I think this is because if they produce lots of computers you need to design them on a different computer. Also from producing computers they have more to offer to citizens. This makes it so lots of people have computers and internet access.

    Imports: They are ranked 64th as of 2012. I think they are 64th because they aren't as big of a country as others.

    Females between 0-14: Ranked 153rd, value of 234,337 as of 2012. I think the younger female population is like this because of Lithuania not being a very big country.

    Internet Users: Lithuania is ranked 75th in internet users as of 2009. Once again I think this because of the size of the country.

    Death Rate: Lithuania is ranked 35th, with a value of 11.40 as of July of 2012. I'm not really sure why their death rate is this way. Maybe because of health services in their country.

  70. 1. Macedonia is ranked 97th in internet users. I think that because of their geography.

    2. Macedonia is ranked 127th in roadways. I think that because they are not close to major cities.

    3. Macedonia is ranked 127th in crude oil production. I think that because they don't have very many oil places near them.

    4. Macedonia in ranked 151st for males in infant mortality rate, females are ranked 156th and the overall ranking is 155th. I think that because macedonia is a good place and people don't kill.

  71. China

    1. Internet users in China are estimated to be about 389,000,000 people. Their rank according to 2009 is 1st in the world. The reason I think so many people are on the internet in China is its population. China is very high in population.

    2. Crude Oil - imports in China is about 5,072,000 barrels. According to 2011 they are ranked 3rd in the world. The reason I think they get so much oil is because they are a huge country and they need a lot of energy.

    3. Crude Oil - production in China is about 4,073,000 barrels. According to 2011 they are currently ranked 6th in the world. The reason why I think they produce so much oil is because they are trying to make their own for energy and to ship it for money.

    4. Electricity - consumption in China is about 4,693,000,000,000 kill-a-watts per hour. According to 2011 they are ranked 2nd in the world. Again why I think they use so much energy is because of the dense population.

    1. 1. Because they are an island and its very windy there so they can use hydro and wind power
      2. I think it is this way also because they're a small island so they can be affected more by things like tsunamis and hurricanes
      3. it's this way because they don't have very good medical care so they could die from things that americans usually wouldn't
      4. It may be this way because of employers not giving the employed enough money so they quit.

    3.Unemployment rate is 16% and is ranked 51.This is most likely because people need as much money as they can get in order to pay for food for family.

    The crude oil export rank in Qatar is 18. 704,300 is exported from Qatar. I think this is because Qatar and the countries around it have a lot of oil.
    The female age structure from 0-14 in Qatar is 120,568. Their rank is 163. I think the boys value is higher because there is usually more boys than girls.

    1. Telephones(mobile cellular)- about 8 million people use cell phones. They're ranked number 90 in cell phone usage. I think they use a lot of cell phones because Singapore's very small and they want to talk to people outside of their small country.
    2. Adult obesity- About 7% of adults in Singapore are obese. This is ranked number 61. I think their obesity ranks are so low because their quite thin and they keep active.
    3. Foreign exchange and gold- Singapore has made about $253,300,000,000 on foreign exchange and gold. They're ranked number 11 in the world. I think they'e so successful with exchange because their surrounded by water so they can exchange using ships.
    4. Imports- Singapore's imports are worth $390,400,000,000! They're ranked number 14. I think they have a lot of imports because they're surrounded by oceans and straits so it's good for ships to come in.

  86. 1. Internet users in India are estimated 61,000,000 people and ranked 6th in the world. I think India is ranked 6th because India has resources in which people can access the internet.
    2. India is ranked 49th in infant mortality rate total. That means approximately 47 infant deaths for every 1,000 live births in India. I believe India is raked 49th because the Indian subcontinent has a history of devastating earthquakes that may decrease the amount of supplies needed for medical attention.
    3. The man power available for female military service in India is ranked 2nd in the world. I believe India is ranked 2nd because India has equal rights. Meaning, women have the right to serve for their country just as males have the right as well.
    4. The imports in India have a value of an estimated 500,000,000,000 dollars, ranking India 9th in the world for imports. India is rich in goods when it comes to exporting. But, India might not have all of the provisions or supplies needed. Therefore, India spends money on transporting the things they are in need of.

    2. The number of people in Romania with mobile phones is about 23,400,000 people and is ranked at 44 compared to the rest of the world. I think Romania is ranked 44 because of the country not being as advanced.

    3. Romania’s female literacy is estimated at 97.10% and is ranked #65 in the world. I think they are ranked #65 because more women have to work in that country due to their financial instability.

    4. The number of children, under the age of five, that are underweight is estimated to be about 3.50% and ranked at 99 in the world. I think this is such a small percentage because they seem to have adequate food (nutrition) for their children.

    1.The Infants that die at birth out of 1,000 babies are 54 babies. They are ranked 37 in the world of infants that die at birth in 2012. I think it is because the don't have enough food or money and they don't have that much money to spend.I also think that there aren't enough hospitals that they can get medical attention from.[Infant Mortality Rate].

    2.The population that is below the poverty line is 31% of the population. They are ranked 65 in the world because of this in 2010 .I think that it is also because there aren't that many jobs.I also think that this is one of the reasons there mortality rate is so high.

      4. School age expectancy for females is 103rd place
      I think it's 103rd place because they only go to school till they are 13 years of age

    Russia
    1. Russia is ranked 2nd in land area. They have 16,377,742km squared in land area. I thinks it is because it's a big country.
    2. Russia is ranked 1st in total area in the country. It includes land and water. That is also because it's a big country.
    3. Russia is ranked 62nd in total school expectancy out of years. I think it's because kids want to be educated.
    4. Russia is ranked 2nd in the amount of railways. I think it's because of how big it is and because people need transportation.

    1. 1 Because the internet is a big improvement to the 21 century and a lot of people use the internet for work.
      2 In Germany their is a lot of oil wells so they are getting a lot of it for gas oil and other things.

      Delete
    2. 3 The hydro electric power from the rivers and streams and the dams.
      4 The railways are the longest in the top 10 rank. It is the long because in Germany there is an autobaun. Witch means you can go as fast as you can. The last thing is that the town is that is cramped together.

    2. 1. Which means it has a good employment rate and it is probably due to its law enforcement.
      2. Which means Sweden has a lot of money in their checking account and the government does not spend as much
      3. Because Sweden doesn't have any oil in its country.
      4. Sweden has some cities but not a lot so their urban population is is moderate or kind of in between high and low.

    1. 1) Ranked 159 and percent is around 67.8% so maybe not many females are educated in female literacy because they may not have the type of money for the education

      2)Ranked as 32 and percent is about 11.66%. And there are 11,000 people of the population dying a year, maybe more or less throughout the years.

      3)The internet users are ranked on the chart at 182, and there are around 749,600 Cameroonian's who use the internet today. Maybe even more.

      4) The electricity imports, or KWH, is ranked at zero, so maybe not many people in Cameroon use electricity and the rank on the chart is 170.

    3)They rank 140 with internet users this is most likely because this is not exactly the richest country and uses internet less
    4) They fit in at 106 for male military power probally because they don't they need to have soldiers for there is no war.

    3) They have a population of about 31,108,077 people and is ranked 41 in the world. I think it's ranked that way because they don't have as many jobs there.

    1.)There are 90 airports in Syria and the rank is 62. I think this because it's a lot of money and not everyone travels by plain.

    2.)There are 66 telephones and the rank is 12,828,00. My guess is that there are not a lot of telephones because not everyone talks over the phone,some write.

    3.) There are 3.70 heath expenditures and the rank is 173 because not everyone it may be a lot of money for heath stuff.

    4.) There are 72 railways in Syria and the rank is 2,053. I think this because not a lot of people go on railways,mostly plans or drive. But if you don't have a lot of money then they would take railways.

    1. The age structure 55-64 years old is rank 8th in the world. I think they are at a high rating for older people because they don’t have as many death as other people, and their life expectancy rates are 42 and 52.
    2. Finland is rank 18th in the world for waterway travel. I think they are rank 18 for waterway travel because their country lies next to the water making it easier for them.
    3. In crude exports they are rank 172. The reason they are rank 172 is because they don’t produce any crude oil in Finland making their production rate 0.
    4. Finlands rank for land area is 71, and the reason why is because Finland is a lot smaller then a lot of those other countries making it a higher rank than others.
