Namibia excels at accidents
Namibia is the best at car crashes, a new global map that has taken the internet by storm has revealed.
The new map of the world divides information into nine categories. These include commodity, psychology, ecology, gastronomy, economy, nicety, humanity, technology and ''nasty''. Countries are known for only one thing, which falls in any of these categories.
Namibia falls into the black or nasty category and is best known for its car crashes, according to the map.
David McCandless has created this new map of the world based on information he gathered from the internet. His sources range from World Bank records to Guinness World Records.
This is the second global map that has been released lately which highlights the dire state of car accidents in Namibia.
Namibian Sun only last month reported that the continued spate of mass casualties coupled with horror crashes on Namibian roads had led to our country being slammed in a global report rating countries in terms of the risks they hold for travellers and tourists.
The Travel Risk Map for 2017 ranked the most dangerous countries in the world on various aspects including medical risks, travel security and road safety. It is designed to alert travellers and tourists to the level of risk they face when visiting destinations worldwide.
Meanwhile other interesting highlights of what other countries are best at, are that South Africa was ranked the best at death, Malaysia for rubber gloves and Pakistan was top for gay porn consumption. Australia is the best at data breaches and Lithuania for fast wi-fi, Norway has the best pizza eaters and Togo is the unhappiness hotspot of the world, according to map.
Somalia is number one for female genital mutilation, while Peru is known for cocaine and Hungary for porn stars. According to the new map, Cuba is represented as a top country for doctors and if you thought most spam emails originated from Nigeria, think again. The country has made a name for itself for its scrabble players while the USA rules the world - of spam emailing. China has the most number of jailed journalists, while Turkey has censored Twitter.
