    British and Dutch influence is obvious.

    There is some correlation with communism and low charity. Check out, Russia, China, Venezuela, Ecuador. All featuring in the lowest!!!

    will you consider that cartograms are a way better way to display this sort of info ?
    as in, all of N Canada not dominating the mind of the viewer ?

    good ones are hard to find; this isn’t to bad for US states

    I wonder what the US/Canada/Australia (the non-atolls that vote against the annual Peaceful Resolution to the Question of Palestine vote in the UN) ratings would be if you deducted charitable contributions to Israeli charities/those supportive of Israel.

      Nice try there with your not so subtle anti-Israel point.
      “Americans gave $358.38 billion in 2014.”
      “Americans give about $1.5 billion annually in private contributions [to Israel]”.
      So, the answer to your question is: 1/2%.
