GDP per capita: Not an indicator of poverty.Length of life: Not an indicator of poverty.Infant mortality: Not an indicator of poverty.Indicators of poverty: How many people have to live with one d0llar a day (without the inflation tax). Numbers are rising. But the superrich own 110 000 000 000 000 , 00 $. Bottom line: Watch the rise of poverty. And peak oil anyone? Nuclear weapons? D.U.? Hell...This guy is bullshitting for the Grand Prize.

The truth value though is bound to the validity of the data. I'm not sure you can get reliable data from all those countries, I mean, who would want to report as the worse country in the world. But then again, I don't know how the data is obtained. But it's an interesting view I think.

That's a good point! I think it's just some issue with the settings of the software, maybe they are separated but happen to have the same color. But a clear mistake.Since he's talking about a lot of those south american countries. If you look at the race between sweden, US and Japan I believe I see that it actually focuses on the U.S only.

I think that software is specially made for the UN, he talked about it being available as a beta version (the state before making it GA (generally available)) online, so I guess you'll find it there.
