>>10423835Relative population is not what allows Canada to dominate the US in this regard, because that's a matter of absolute numbers. This is why the US is the largest economic power on this list despite only being number 10 in relative terms. 320 million * 65k is more than 600k * 115k, just like how 23 million Asians is more than 6 million Asians. Similarly the fact that the Faroe Islands have the highest number of Nobel prize laureates in the world doesn't mean they have any impact on science because in practice it just means they have a single one in a tiny country. Relative numbers mean fuck all.
