I don't know the answer but if that country has the "highest" users they must have the best pot. I'm gonna go there.

Peter Revson. Revson won the British and Canadian Grands Prix in 1973 for McLaren, with Yardley sponsorship. He moved to Shadow Racing for the 1974 season, and was killed in practice for the 1974 South African Grand Prix at Kyalami.
Revson was the nephew of Charles Revson, the founder of Revlon Cosmetics. Peter was the son and heir apparent of Martin Revson, whose fortune was reputed to be in the neighbourhood of $1 Billion, which was a LOT of money, in the early 70's.
Revson's replacement at Shadow, Tom Pryce, was also killed at Kyalami, in a freak accident at the 1977 South African Grand Prix. Pryce hit and killed one of the race marshals, Fredrik Jansen van Vuuren, who had stupidly run across the track in mid race, intending to put out a fire on a car that had suffered engine failure, (the second Shadow, driven by Renzo Zorsi). The collision cut van Vuuren's body in half, and the fire extinguisher he had been carrying hit Pryce in the head, killing him instantly. The dead Pryce overtook several cars that were breaking for Crowthorne Corner, at the end of the start/ finish straight, before crashing into the runoff area.
Interesting. Are you saying that both Denmark and Luxembourg had more than 227,000 deaths in WW2? And I thought that Austria was fully annexed by Germany by the start of the war.
Latvia 227,000
Austria 123,700
Malaysia 100,000
Ethiopia 100,000
Finland 97,000
Belgium 86,100
Estonia 51,000
Singapore 50,000
Canada 45,300
Australia 40,500
No I am not saying Denmark and Luxembourg had more than 227,000 deaths in WW2. Luxembourg was over run and captured in days if not hours to be used by the Nazis as a corridor to invade France. Denmark and many Nordic countries were occupied or were close to Nazism themselves. Example: Vidkun Quisling of Norway was a near Nazi and most certainly a Nazi puppet. Austria was fully annexed by Germany, didn't you ever watch The Sound of Music?
While the vast majority of info I have gathered for the Trivia Thread is accurate, I can not guarantee that all of it is accurate.
21.5% of people in Ghana are weed smokers. It may not be necessarily true that they have the best merely because there is a large number of users. It may be that the population has nothing to do and the conditions are good for growing weed. It may also be that the local LE does not fine or arrest people that grow weed.
All tequila is mezcal, but not all mezcal is tequila. Tequila is made from the blue agave plant. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from several different types of maguey/agave varieties.
Who won Canada's only gold medal, (giant slalom), at the 1976 Winter Olympics, hosted by Innsbruck, Austria?
