Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Considering only nations whose citizens collected Nobel Prizes on a regular basis, the ranking is led by Switzerland, with roughly 3 Nobel Prizes per million capita (NPpmc), followed by Sweden (nearly 2 NPpmc), Denmark (nearly 1.5 NPpmc), Austria (over 1 NPpmc), and the UK (about 1 NPpmc).
Ignoring statistical outliers St. Lucia and Iceland, each with 1.0 prizes for one single laureate, according to the Nobel Foundation.
america won more medals based on how many grinds they had in their country.
america also won more medals on the basis of good president dance moves
why would per capita matter at all? for all you know maybe you won all the huge pussified events like expert ribbon waving or something. it doesn't really say anything in of itself.
you get another tom award
the nobel prize for literature is culturally biased

Just stating facts, here is a complete list of gold medals won. If bragging was an Olympic sport then your country would win hands down.

obama to ellen:
see, white people can dance
Obviously, if you have more people, you can usually expect to have more geniuses just by dumb luck. Having more geniuses per a person is more likely to indicate something special about your society. If you ignore per capita, you are instead largely measuring the ability of society to spit out babies, throwing everything at the wall and hoping something sticks.
"Do not think that I came to bring peace... I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." - Matthew 10:34
Obama has won more medals that he didn't earn than any President in modern history, per capita.
I love how the list has European nations separate, then also lists the EU...
The first on the list is actually the Faroe Islands. I'd say that Saint Lucia would be able to say they "regularly" won them as 2 is pretty good for such a small nation and they would be second on the "per capita" list...
