Living in the developing world brings its own kind of issues, medical emergencies for instance, as well as the English proficiency around you (which is probably one of the reasons the top 3 countries are DK, DE and NL)
Germany has a low English proficiency, tho. Or did it change?

Probably region dependent, but the cliche seems to be that when asked, Germans say "they don't speak English very well", while actually having a quite good level (based on what visiting English speakers say, anyway)
