I was surfing and came across this second way to measure countries against each other. Not absolutes, just comparatives.

Can anyone tell me why the US constantly boasts that Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere? We’ve invaded it a half dozen times since WW2. We occupied it from 1918 to 1933. Gezz!
Is this the best we can do in this game of “Nation Building?”
