As a Latin America Colombia always felt like the average of us. Brazil is the largest and most powerful. Chile and Uruguay are the most developed. Venezuela is the most broke, Haiti is the worst at everything. And Colombia is just right in the middle
They are even in the middle geographically, with Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean to their north and the rest of South America to their south.
Azerbaijani here. The thing is we are also really close to the middle of the world map. But if Azerbaijan is the average country on earth, it is a little bit sad. As any Eastern European country, our youth relocate to Europe to study and work there. Society is not that open to experience new things, etc. The thing is Azerbaijan will give you just enough opportunities to leave the country but not enough to make a great living in here. Besides, our passport is also a bit problematic. Going through all that visa hurdle…Complete bummer.
Yeah. I've heard those kinds of problems are fairly common in so-called "middle income countries" - you don't have the same kind of extreme poverty as the poorest countries, but you also don't have the opportunity of the wealthiest.
@@SignoreGalilei Azerbaijan is not really one of those. Most people here have really good income. For example if we just take private schools they are so filled and there is a lot of them. Not like in poor countries everywhere is crowded because there's no money, everyone just wants to live in tiny little Baku. Not everyone would be able to pay $5k/a month per child for 11 years yknow.
Malaysia makes a lot of sense as being “very average” because it’s a mix of three different cultural spheres in Asia: Malay, Chinese, and Indian. It’s a very religiously and culturally diverse country with both large metropolitan areas (like the capital Kuala Lumpur) and vast swathes of wilderness (the rainforests of Borneo). Additionally, its economy is newly industrialized, meaning that it’s well developed compared to other countries in Southeast Asia but it still lags behind most of the West. And like much of the world, it’s a former English colony and a large portion of its population knows English as a second language.
lol I'm Venezuelan and I immediately guessed "It 100% HAS to be Colombia" before I even clicked on the video. It just makes intuitive sense not just in terms of the types of statistics you used in your analysis, but also culturally, ethnically, religiously, economically, and even geopolitically. I would also venture to guess that most Latin Americans would comfortably and intuitively call Colombia the most average Latin American country without even thinking much about the question. I think the only major ways in which it isn't average would be in how young of a nation it is ("Colombia" as an idea is only about 200 years old, and even the bulk of the people who live there have only been there for ~500 years or so) and how biodiverse it is (#1 in the world by various metrics).
Most nations are actually younger than Colombia, by the way. So, despite what you think, Colombia is older than average in terms of independent countries, not younger.
@MatthewTheWanderer eh, I think by any honest definition most nations are a lot older than their current governing states. "France" and "China" for instance, despite being relatively young states, have obviously existed for centuries and millennia respectively.

But still, I haven’t watched the video yet so idk
One of the very best hyper niche videos I've seen in a while, but i wanted you to do with both the mean of the proportions and the general proportion, to see if that changes anythimg
What did you have in mind in particular by "general proportion"? Definitely feel free to use the spreadsheet data linked in the description if there's anything you want to check out specifically that's hard to explain.
I was a bit confused halfway through since in my country of Denmark we don’t call a median average. We just call it median. Average only means mean average. IMO the first mean average is the one to be used for this video
I can't believe you actually suggested using a logarithmic scale for determining how close a parameter is to the mean. A much more sensible way to find the most average country is to calculate how many standard deviations from the mean each country is across each domain and find the country where the sum of the standard deviations is closest to 0.
Having been to Tunisia, I like the idea of it as an average country. It’s a country that really feels like it’s between two worlds. It’s got some beauty to it but mostly it’s things other countries also have. It’s middle income. It’s culturally pretty mixed. It seems about right.
Would be interesting to take the averages for less numeric features like : language, religion, climate and then combine them all together to create a hypothetical average country
It’s interesting that B is the most common starting letter for a capital name of a country, but for the capitals of each state in the US, not a single of the 50 start with B. I’m sure some of this has to do with language or something, but still surprising.
Listening to all the stories happening from like every different countries, i, a malaysian, thought huh, my country must be the most average country in the world, and this videos showed me that i was not far off.
For the means, did you look if there where any outliers for any of the measurements? Since the mean can be skewed by outliers, it would be relevant. Also maybe it would have been better to use the z-score for ranking the countries based on mean, although I’m not sure if that would change the results.
Niue is often an outlier since it's just so small (less than 2,000 people vs ~10,000 for the next few smallest). Most of the distributions are closer to an exponential than a normal, so not sure how useful Z-scores would be. I did try a log transform (and a Box-Cox transform) on the data in the same analysis that got me the North Korea result. I might make a bonus vid about that if enough people want to see it.
Different variables are better suited for different means (maybe for another video), besides the difference in what you want to emphasize between mean and median.
I like the idea of Colombia being the most average because the official language is one of the most spoken on earth, their religion is largest denomination of the largest religion, and they're ethnically diverse as well. Even their government is average, being on the fence between flawed democracy and hybrid regime.

Niue is often an outlier since it's just so small (less than 2,000 people vs ~10,000 for the next few smallest). Most of the distributions are closer to an exponential than a normal, so not sure how useful Z-scores would be. I did try a log transform (and a Box-Cox transform) on the data in the same analysis that got me the North Korea result. I might make a bonus vid about that if enough people want to see it.
4:25, we keep telling y'all we're exceptional, and you don't believe us 😎
As an Azerbaijanian I never thought that my home country would be average, happy I learned that, also loved the anthem at the end
You could exclude population and weigh other values by population to get idea of an average citizen (If I math correctly)
Underrated
wouldnt the reciporcal on 6:00 be 8.19
Different variables are better suited for different means (maybe for another video), besides the difference in what you want to emphasize between mean and median.
5:36 “ok”
Haha, yep
What's the most average US state?
Nice 🇬🇪💖

i am from tunisia so does it mean that i am a medium person ?
Good video
Thanks!
Wasn't expecting my county to be the most average
5:36 Oklahoma jumpscare:
I like the style of your videos a lot.
Thanks, glad you like it!
As an Azerbaijani i even look half European half Asian
I love the outro music
We can thank Azerbaijan for that one haha
Can you do this for the best country(but it's kinda unknown uf population density is good or nah)
Yeah with some of these stats it's hard to say which are "good" or "bad".
@@SignoreGalileiI used to think Georgia was like the best country ever but then I realized I was just obsessed by it 😢
Bro just explained Mathematica medians
American exceptionalism is real, USA USA 🇺🇸
Definitely not average!
You think azerbaijan is average til you hear the banger of an anthem
Now combine the mean and median, what is the most average country then?
Good video, didn't except to find out that my country is the most average in the world.
