Panama and Bhutan : it's much easier to score high in an average if you're a small country, than averaging a huge landmass
Iceland vs Netherlands : both are wealthy and stable, however Iceland is known for having nationalised its banks after the 2008 financial crisis. Such a move may have impacted their credit rating, although it made sense at the time to put a leash on banks that took too much risks
Nigeria vs Ghana : the point zero is some distance away from the shore, while Nigeria sits right at the corner of the Gulf of Guinea
India vs Kenya : the equator passes just south of Singapore, that is further south than the tip of India
