If there was
ever a thing to unabashedly challenge your view of the world, it'd
have to be this global map that apparently knows more about these countries
than you ever did. And the difference is as good as a 360 degree flip.
India's not
known for how colourful it is or how helpful its people are or even the Taj
Mahal. According to this map, India's popular for its bananas. Our errant
cousin and neighbour, Pakistan, apparently loves its gay porn. Now, who

This
'International number ones' map was created by David McCandless, and is a
collection of data from sources that include Guiness World Records and the
World Bank, to name a few. The index on the bottom of the map goes as high up
as straight up 'nasty.'
Other
audacious facts: France isn't the most romantic in the world. It's the most drunk
on whiskey! And Colombia's not reeling under the weight of an oppressive
economy; it's actually quite happy.
