So Swamerica it is?
The astika is silent.
Swunited States
Because we invest in our citizens
Switzerland's most innovative industries being mechanical watch escapements, asset hiding, and evading sanctions.
They food an innovative way of having a food company being declared a terrorist organization. Switzerland also is a charitable country. Companies like Glencore help poor countries exploited for their natural resources to do a better job of it. The chemical industry once nearly caought all eel in the Rhine at once. Well they were dead in the end anyway.

What
I would expect because the US is a large country. In general, if you rank something in non-absolute terms, splitting a country up will tend to result in the component parts that rank above the average showing up higher. If you split the US up into states and measure each individually, you'll probably have some that rank above the US average index score and some that rank below the US average index score.
If one scored Europe as an aggregate, it'd similarly rank below its top two highest-scoring countries.
This works both ways. In sure if you scooped MalmΓΆ out of Sweden it would pop up even higher. ;)
No metric is perfect.
I betcha I know which States would rank below. ;)
This works for Switzerland too, not all of our cantons are the same, just like your states. Removing the less innovative ones will make us rank even higher.
That's true. The smaller the division relative to another, the higher probability that at least some will be above or below on a ranking list relative to the other.
