1 Iceland
2 Norway
3 Australia
4 Canada
5 Ireland
6 Sweden
7 Switzerland
8 Japan
9 Netherlands
10 France

The US is #12.

The bottom ten are:
168 Congo (Democratic Republic of the)
169 Ethiopia
170 Chad
171 Central African Republic
172 Mozambique
173 Mali
174 Niger

I couldn't find Somalia, North Korea, Iraq, Afganistan or Mongolia on the list. Tt seems some areas have no coherent gov't which can generate the statistics or the numbers aren't trusted.
