Thirteen country comparison tables from the 2023 CIA World Factbook < https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/ > were ranked for countries over 5 million in population as noted below (Table 1.) The aggregate totals of these rankings were then ranked from 1 to N. The top 12 were selected based on the aggregate rankings of the 13 variables as shown in the tables.
