    No problem, I actually thought of making this list because of New Zealand.

    NZ is also my favorite place in the entire world. I've been there twice and if I'm ever rich I'm going to buy a house there.

    I was aware, but I haven't been near a computer or the internet for a few hours. The list has now been updated with the South Africa result. Thanks.

  4. Cool list!
    Know it's just a typo but NZ drew Slovakia not Slovenia. You've got the different rankings number just missed on the name.
