Ranks are value-descending and count only the countries that have data for that metric (#1 = highest value); N/A rows occupy no rank.
The median is the unweighted middle value across the countries with data (gold tick) — not a world average. Bars grow with the value: reaching the tick means matching the median, and a full bar means twice the median or more. The median value and this country's multiple are noted under each bar.
