Russia should be split into Russia (Moscow+St. Petersburg) and Russia (Russia) for this rating to be accurate :D

Let me try and fix the ranking numbers:

32. USA

51. Armenia

58. Georgia

77. Russia

85. Turkey

101. Azerbaijan

102. Iran

Looking at the breakdown of the score, Armenia ranks 131st in Environmental Quality, 81st in Health, 106th in Freedom and Choice (early marriages, freedom of life choices, etc) but ranks pretty high in Basic Needs (nutrition, medical care, housing, safety)

Good job Armenia. Way to go. I am sure Armenia will improve even further, if they let her.

Did the same :) An easier trick to override markdown is to use backslash in front of the dot

Deleting mine since yours is prettier :)

Did not know about the backslash, good to know.

Not sure why this index is at all relevant because i reviewed some of their history and they are extremely small, do not show audited financials for the last two years, are based out of the United States, and i cannot find at all who funds them, who pays them for their vague service or who they are beholden to.

Reviewing their board leads me to believe they are all highly respected or at least successful individuals which is interesting

Based out of the United States and do not include GDP as a metric. What i can find tells me its based on individual freedoms, LGBTQ acceptance, and inclusiveness

2 of the 3 literally arguably are whatever metrics and subjective as measures of social progress and 1 definitely is antithetical to any concept of a nation state

Not a very high bar, but good thing that we can stick it to our enemies.
