Notes and references
  1. Scotland's score is shown first.
gollark: Not *winning*, but surprisingly high up given the population.
gollark: The UK is at least among the least worst ones and does lots of scientific research.
gollark: I'm mostly resigned to the fact that most countries around have horrible flaws of some kind.
gollark: But bizarrely indirected and still referred to as debt everywhere even though something like 2/3 of the time it isn't paid off.
gollark: It's effectively a 30-year tax on graduate incomes.
