Wow you must have spent months collecting the info and more months adding them up to create the maps so it's a crazy effort if you singlehandedly worked on the project but I assume you had support which is also a good thing! Very good job anyway! 💯💯💯

[@TemoMachitidze]

Just wow! this seems so interesting. If you'll put enough effort to this channel it's gonna be super popular shortly and I'll say proudly that I was one of the first subscribers! haha :D Can't wait to see detailed info about each country Good luck!

great work

[@nickohira1397]

Really cool brilliant work

[@closmasmas9080]

This is a brilliant idea

[@isabelpratt345]

This is so interesting!!

[@Sebastian-sd1om]

@objectivelists When will there be an objective list for Latvia and other European countries? I absolutely love your lists

[@arquiteutis]

Really a commendable job! Thanks!

[@taokuoh6805]

What would you say is a high closeness to a country being like immediately similar? is the cut off at around a score of 74 for example?

[@objectivelists]

Good question! Anything above 80 is extremely similar. 65 is the cut off between more similarities than differences.

[@taokuoh6805]

@@objectivelists Thanks! I had a play around with your data as well to isolate what it would be like if it was just cultural similarities. It’s pretty interesting!

[@objectivelists]

Glad to hear its helpful!

[@taokuoh6805]

@@objectivelistshey I have another question. Is it possible to see how similar Hong Kong, Barbados, Monaco and Liechtenstein are? Like do profiles for them as well? If you can’t do every country is it possible to see how similar they are to the UK? :)

[@objectivelists]

@@taokuoh6805 no, unfortunately those did not have enough data.

[@wwg.07]

will you be updating the site next year (or even this year?)?

[@jeffjones114]

the site is updated daily 🙂

[@histomuzik]

This site is very fascinating. I noticed that Ethiopia only appears on 2 other country's top 10 list. Why is that so?

[@countrysimilarityindex8124]

Unique writing system, relatively unique religion, also its geography is somewhat unique from most other African countries, just to name a few reasons why that is

[@chibibi4576]

Very inaccurate, with absolutely no sources. Zero academic integrity.

[@objectivelists]

you will find the sources of the data located in the links on this webpage... objectivelists.com/2020/05/30/country-similarity-index/

[@chibibi4576]

​@@objectivelists Where exactly? Because I don't see any. You're an independent 'scholar' claiming to hold a PhD in Geography...but there's no proof of that. Moreover, none of your research actually references any papers or studies.

[@taokuoh6805]

@@chibibi4576 When you click on each different section it gives you the sources they used on the site. I'd say its fairly accurate tbh especially if you've traveled outside your country.
