real life lore every country in the
world is best and worst at something and
you're watching part two
of what every country in europe
specifically is the worst at
part one covered every european country
between a and k
and it's linked in the description if
you need to watch it and this part is
covering every country between
l and v so let's kick things off with
latvia which has plenty of potatoes but
doesn't have plenty of men
latvia has the least amount of men per
capita in europe with only 0.86 men in
the country for every one
woman liechtenstein is technically the
least visited country in europe but
that's mostly just because it's so small
they only received 69
000 visitors in 2017. lithuania is
actually tied
precisely with latvia for having the
least amount of men in the country there
are
16 percent more women in both lithuania
and latvia than men for being so tiny
luxembourg is actually the worst in
europe at a lot of things
for starters they have the largest
ecological footprint of any country in
the entire world
the average luxembourger has double the
ecological footprint of the average
american
luxembourg produces the most co2
emissions per capita
of any country in europe they have the
world's highest divorce rate at roughly
87
of marriages ending in one and they have
the highest rent found anywhere in
europe
and the third highest in the entire
world the average rent for a one-bedroom
apartment in the city center
is over 1500 euros a month malta is
europe's hottest country with an average
yearly temperature of 19.2 degrees
celsius
it's also europe's most religious
country excluding the vatican
with 86 of the population saying that
religion is important to their lives
and which makes malta roughly just as
religious as estonia is
irreligious malta also has europe's
lowest literacy rate
with 6.7 of the population over 15
not being able to read or write moldova
has a lot of issues
according to the imf moldova has the
lowest gdp per capita of any country in
europe
at only 3 300 us dollars per citizen
moldova also has the highest rate of
de-urbanization in the world with a city
growth rate of negative 1.5 percent
on average per year moldova is also
truly
europe's least visited country since
they only received
145 000 visitors for all of 2017
which is only one tourist for every 24
citizens in the country
people just don't ever come to visit
moldova and for decent reasons
it has the worst access to improved
sanitation facilities in europe with
only 76
of the population having access to a
toilet and it also has europe's highest
amount of child labor with 24.3 percent
of the children in the country taking
part in the labor force
according to unicef monaco has the
lowest percentage of young people in the
world
with the average age of their citizens
being 52.4
years they also spend the least on
education in europe with only 1.5
percent of monaco's gdp being
contributed
excluding the tiny city-states of
liechtenstein and san marino
montenegro has europe's shortest tallest
building
the tallest building in the country is
only 65 meters tall
which is even shorter than the tallest
buildings of andorra
monaco vatican city and malta the
netherlands has the highest rate of
wealth inequality not only in europe but
in the entire world
the top one percent of dutch citizens
own more than
one-third of all the private wealth in
the country the netherlands also has the
most disappointing record in the fifa
world cup
since they've gotten the runner-up place
three times now and have yet to ever
actually
win the highest number of runner-ups
without a victory of
any country in the world north macedonia
has an even worse track record in sports
however because
they have europe's worst performance at
the olympics having only ever won
a single bronze medal for wrestling back
in the 2000 games at
sydney norway doesn't really have many
bad things to say about it but i guess
they do have europe's most expensive
beer
and petrol prices and nearly seven euros
for a pint of beer
and nearly two euros for a liter of
petrol theoretically
poland has the most restrictive abortion
laws anywhere in europe
i say theoretically because vatican city
malta san marino and andorra
all have more restrictions than poland
do but they're also
all very tiny countries whereas poland
has the most restrictions of any
european
nation-state and more than anywhere else
besides those four
tiny countries they are restricted only
to cases where the mother's life is in
danger
mental or physical health rape and or
fetal defects
portugal has europe's highest high
school dropout rate
with only 60 percent of the population
having completed secondary education
and according to a poll by airhelp the
lowest rated airport in the entire world
is also in portugal lisbon portela
airport
romania has the lowest amount of movie
theaters per capita in europe while
russia russia has a lot of problems i
can make an entire video
just about all the problems russia has
but here's the quick version they have
the worst traffic in europe and europe's
most dangerous roads with the highest
number of average traffic deaths
they have the highest suicide rate in
all of europe and the highest for men
specifically
in the entire world they have europe's
highest incarceration rate with 363
prisoners per 100 000 people
russia is the most corrupt country in
europe according to transparency
international
they have the highest rate of opiate
usage in europe and the third highest in
the world
at 1.64 of the population actively
using they have the highest rate of hiv
infection in europe at
1.2 percent of the population and have
europe's highest homicide rate
you're eight times more likely to be
murdered in russia than you are in
germany
russia has the lowest minimum wage in
europe at just 66 us cents
per hour and according to the gay travel
index
russia is also by far the most
unfriendly country in europe towards
lgbt people and among the worst
places in the entire world to live as an
lgbt person
on a par with afghanistan or libya
moving on
san marino is the most difficult country
in europe to conduct business in
according to the ease of doing business
index and
it's the least linguistically diverse
country in europe as well
serbia has the worst gun problem in
europe with europe's highest firearm
related death rate
slovakia has the lowest voter turnout of
any country in europe with only 23
percent of eligible voters in the
country actually
voting in the last european parliament
elections in 2019
which is a much lower turnout than even
americans had in the 2016 presidential
election
that saw 55 turnout people just don't
vote in slovakia but in addition to that
slovakia is also probably europe's most
racist country
a study conducted by the european
commission in 2015
asked people in eu member states how
they would feel about their children
dating somebody from a different
background and slovakia gave back the
most prejudiced results
with very high majorities of people
saying that they wouldn't be comfortable
with it
i couldn't find anything that slovenia
was the worst at other than being
confused for slovakia all the time
so great job guys other than russia
spain has the highest number of active
separatist movements in europe with 12
ongoing some of which have pretty
widespread support
at least 42 of the population of
catalonia
favors independence 33 percent of the
population in the basque country do as
well
and around 25 percent of the population
in galicia spain is perhaps the least
likely country in europe to survive
in her current borders by the end of the
21st century
weirdly sweden has the highest number of
grenade and bomb attacks anywhere in
europe with over 100 such attacks taking
place in 2019 alone
switzerland has the lowest rate of home
ownership in europe at only 43.4 percent
of the population actually owning theirs
perhaps this is because switzerland is
also the most expensive country in the
entire
world to live in they have the world's
highest cost of living
highest priced restaurants highest
priced groceries and
highest priced mobile data anywhere in
the world zurich and geneva are both
the most expensive cities to live
anywhere in europe and
among the highest priced cities anywhere
in the world turkey has the lowest level
of english proficiency in europe at only
47 of the population that's still kind
of a lot
anyway turkey also has the lowest
freedom of the press score in europe the
highest number of journalists imprisoned
anywhere in the world
europe's highest obesity rate at 32
percent of the population
the lowest overall gender equality score
in europe and
according to the fragile states index
turkey is also europe's least stable
country with the highest number of
terrorist incidents of
any country with land on the continent
ukraine has europe's lowest birth rate
at only 1.3 children per one woman in
the country
being the average they also have
europe's lowest life expectancy at only
72 years which is over a decade
lower than italians with 83.6 years
men in ukraine only have life
expectancies of 67 years which is on a
par with men in pakistan or syria and
according to the same world happiness
report that raided finland as the
world's happiest country
they also rated ukraine as europe's
least happy they have the lowest amount
of internet users in europe with only 57
of the population being connected
ukrainian citizens are also the poorest
in all of europe
with the average ukrainian only having a
mean net worth
of 8792 u.s dollars
which is poorer than the average citizen
of kenya or nicaragua
is on the complete opposite side of the
spectrum
the united kingdom has the highest usage
of cocaine
anywhere in the world with roughly 2.7
percent of adults who actively use it
and finally vatican city is the final
and sole
surviving absolute monarchy in europe
which pretty much by default
makes it the least democratic country in
europe and now that you've made it this
far getting through me telling you what
your favorite countries in europe are
the worst at i think you deserve a
reward
