What's OUR country famous for? (by Justice Sibanda)

A map published by DogHouse Diaries out today has revealed surprising things that countries are best at. The map is based on statistics gathered from across the internet - ranging from sources as diverse as the World Bank to the Guinness World Records.

Created by online comic and website DogHouse Diaries, the map shows what each country leads the rest of the world in and the words picked - which are written across the country's geographical territory - are in many cases surprising.

Zimbabwe leads the world in "Commercial Bank Prime Lending Rate", really?? I thought there would be loads of other things we led the world at. When you introduce yourself as a Zimbabwean people don't immediately think, "oh that's the country with the best Commercial Bank Lending Rate", right. I would have thought that, our ridiculous record at having unfair elections or our "President-for-Life" situation (his will to cling to power by any means necessary could have had notable mention) or that Zimbabwean Dollar reached the point where the face value of many banknotes (which had reached denominations as high as Z$100,000,000,000,000) was less than the value of the paper itself.

Shows how little people know about the dire situation in Zimbabwe.
