Type the phrase "worst country" into www.google.co.uk.
I'm not going to tell you what it is. You know what country I'm referring to - it's the one that everyone bangs on about ... all the time ... For the sake of this discussion, let's assume that I'm talking about that country that is the size of Wales.
Anyway, go on ....
Type the phrase "worst country" into www.google.co.uk.
The FIRST hit is a country the size of Wales.
The SIXTH hit is also a country the size of Wales.
Think about this for a moment. There are approximately 193 countries in the world.
Why did Google find a country the size of Wales first?
The chances of this happening purely by chance, all other things being equal, are approximately 0.5%
Imagine for a moment that countries the size of Wales may be guilty as charged of ALL the accusations that are thrown at them. If we are purely talking about landmass and numbers of people involved, it would STILL pale into insignificance alongside Sudan and North Korea.
For some empirical evidence of North Korean misery, you only have to look at the picture taken by Nasa:

South Korea is lit up like a Christmas tree.
When you go north, everything goes dark except for Pyongyang.
What can it be like to live there?
Surely a search on "worst country" in Google should recover North Korea before a country the size of Wales.
Yet I have to scroll to hit 25 before I find North Korea mentioned in the search text.
Why is that?
Even if we accept the a priori assumption that countries the size of Wales can be dreadful countries, the fact that they appear so much higher up on the list is proof that undue focus is given to countries the size of Wales.
I therefore deduce that there is an orchestrated hate campaign against countries the size of Wales.
Forget politics, this is what logical analysis demonstrates.
I sadly conclude that it is extremely difficult to have an objective discussion about country the size of Wales and human rights, given that there is a VAST propaganda HATE campaign against countries the size of Wales.
Go Figure …
