Countries Richer Than Their Neighbors

Really? I got 28, and that was with tons of guesses.

Northern Cyprus is not internationally acknowledged.

And there's the UN zone between them, not sure if they border each other anywhere.

The UK has territory on the island, so they still wouldn't be on the list if Northern Cyprus was taken into account.

Turk confirmed. Remember to update your Deutsch work visa.

Yeah, not that interesting at all considering that they border 1. Albania (4th poorest country in Europe), 2. Macedonia (whose economy is based on pissing off Greece), 3. Bulgaria (chief export: magnificent breasts), and 4. Turkey (currently hard at work at transitioning from the European secular state envisioned by Ataturk to become more like Da'esh).

I respect people sharing their quizzes on quizzes that are similar to the quiz they are advertising (like interopia down below). People who share random quizzes of theirs on unrelated quizzes are slightly annoying, but you know what the quiz you're going to is. However, the problem with people who say to take their quizzes is that you don't know what quizzes there are so it won't pique your interest. At that point, for the person who sees the advertisement, there's no appeal to check out the quizzes since they could just as easily check out someone else's quizzes. If you want people to take your quizzes, you should spend that time working on making your quizzes higher quality to get subscribers and a good reputation.

Because this quiz is focusing on GDP per capita. Germany has less GDP per capita than Switzerland, which has less than Liechtenstein.

4th*

yea, per capita they are 20th,

luxembourg(4th), switzerland (6th) denmark(11th), netherlands(16th), austria(17th) they are all higher in rankings (in that order)

Followed closely by Belgium ((22) and france(24) and then czechia (40) and lastly poland (58)

So they are right in the middle, 4 of the countries that they share a border with have higher gdp per capita, and 4 have lower.

Not only that, but it's PPP (purchasing power parity) which takes into account the relative cost of things, so a expensive countries are handicapped in favor of less expensive countries.

Still there must have been a typo, th sources I find put them in the region where it is displayed now (22k) and not 45k where it would be if it was above south korea etc.

So the argument that it is GDP per capita, and PPP, though not incorrect, is invalid, because it would have had to have shown more than double its real GDP to be above south korea.

What about them?

yet true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita

They only have about 1/13 the population. That is a big difference

They do not. Kind of hard to debate that if you look at a map.

I also get confused by the countries on Germany's northwest border sometimes to be honest. Basically:

Belgium borders all the others;

The Netherlands only borders Belgium;

Luxembourg & France both border all the others except the Netherlands.

Yea, sri lanka hasnt bordered india for several centuries.

Perhaps it was the 33rd country and didn't make the table? Does appear to be an omission, looking through the source linked above.

Panama is richer than Costs Rica.

With PPP, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are very close. I would guess Saudi Arabia edged ahead in the estimates used here. In pure GDP per capita, Kuwait would certainly make the list.

edit: That said, the best data I could find puts Kuwait still slightly ahead ($51,000 to $50,100), so it could also be an oversight/ but Quizmaster may have better data than me.

because its not true

And anyone should agree with you because?

I was going to make a comment about PPP helping Libya out there, but it looks like it's ahead of them both in nominal GDP per capita too. Oil market covering for instability I guess.

IMF has it already over 50,000 for 2026. Check what PPP is and why it looks unrealistic - roughly meaning that the GDP is growing while the prices stay quite low compared to other countries around.
