I have yet to see a nation in the top 30 with a population of over a billion! For God's sake, an 8 million nation is in the top ten! What gives?

It depends what they're rating. I have yet to see them rank population.

Just think of it this way, say they're rating how politically free the people are.
Country A has 3 people.
Country B has 9 people.
Each country gives freedom to 2/3 of their population, so country A has a higher average for political freedom (per capita). At least that's how I figure it works.

Quaon?! What the hell are you doing going around with this nation again? You've been elected onto the Senate as Sionju and have missed several proposed issues.

Some ranking prefer small nations.

And many of them are per capita rankings.
