Apparently, the statistics are not entirely forthcoming on the internet. But according to The Economist, a study of 29 countries was conducted in 2006 that showed the USA only behind Greece in terms of per capita lawyers.
More recently, the American Lawyer reported that Israel has the most lawyers per capita, and India has the most lawyers total. Of course, the US isn't too far behind on either count.
I'm not sure where the information below came from, or if it is reliable, so take it with a grain of salt. (I think someone just looked up the population and lawyer count for a these 8 countries)
U.S.A.: There is one lawyer for every 265 Americans. Brazil follows closely with one lawyer for every 326 Brazilians.
Country Lawyers Population People/Lawyer
1) US: Lawyers: 1,143,358 Pop: 303MM P/L:265
2) Brazil: Lawyers: 571,360 Pop: 186MM P/L: 326
3) New Zealand: Lawyers: 10,523 Pop: 4MM P/L 391
4) Spain Lawyers:114,143 Pop: 45MM P/L:395
5) Italy Lawyers:121,380 Pop: 59MM P/L:488
6) UK Lawyers:151,043 Pop: 61MM P/L401
7) Germany Lawyers:138,679 Pop: 82MM P/L: 593
8) France Lawyers:45,686 Pop: 64MM P/L: 1,403

Among the 8 countries listed above, the US only has about 50% of the lawyers (37 percent of the total population). India alone has over 1 million lawyers (more than the USA). Therefore, the US does not even come close to having 70% of the world's population of lawyers. Myth busted.
But, with 2.2 million people in prisons, the US has a lawyer for every two inmates. Considering the ridiculous rate at which the United States incarcerates, that is saying something.
The lawyer number for the US comes from the ABA (active) for 2007. The lawyer number for Brazil comes from Brazilian's ABA equivalent OAB (active) for 2007. The population numbers were pulled on Jan 2nd 2008 from Wikipedia.

What country has the most alcoholics per capita?

For now, Louxembourg. :) I'll have a pretty good guess that it is Russia Do you mean Luxembourg? Which is on of the smallest countries in Europe? Not a part of Russia at all. According to the most recent data from the World Health Organization, the Republic of Moldova (located between Romania and Ukraine, has the highest alcohol consumption. The Republic of Moldova declared Independence from the Soviet Union on August 27, 1991. (Luxembourg was rated 23 on the list)

Which is the poorest and richest country in the world according to GDP per capita?

The most reliable source of such information would be provided by the Worldbank. In recent years they have moved away from reporting GDP per capita and instead report GNI (Gross National Income) per capita. For 2006 the rankings are listed in the following file:. http://siteresources.worldbank.org/DATASTATISTICS/Resources/GNIPC.pdf. Here Luxembourg tops the list with US $76,040 (yearly). However there is an important fact to take into consideration. About 1/3 of this income belongs to commuting residents of surrounding countries. This means that the GNI per capita of actual residents of Luxembourg would be closer to 50,000 or so.. If taking the above into consideration Bermuda is assumed to take the top spot based on historic numbers (No actual data is available for 2006). Of course, Bermuda has a tiny population of only 64,000 which is no more than a medium sized town.. Of countries with larger populations, say a million or more, Norway would take the top spot with $66,530 for 2006.. At the poor end of the spectrum it is a bit more difficult to determine, due to the lack of data from many of the poorest countries. The country with the lowest reported GNI per capita on the Worldbank list is Burundi with $100.

Per capita what is the largest country in the world?

What I believe you are asking is which country has the most land area per person. By far, Antarctica has the largest area per person of any continent.

Butte Montana at .001956 bars per person The previous answer was New York City however that city only has about .0003 bars per person. Accuall, La Crosse Wisonsin has 375 bars in that city with a 2009 population of 51,818 so with some simple math that is .00723 bars per person Oswego, Ny has 35 bars and 17,705 people meaning the bar per capita ratio is 0.001694 which isn't the highest ratio but I've heard it had the most so i wanted to clear that up Hurley, Wisconsin has 32 bars with a 2009 population of 1,509. making it .0212 bars per person or about 1 bar for every 47 people.

What US state has the most lawyers per capita?

The District of Columbia (Washington D.C.) has the most lawyers per capita, but D.C. isn't exactly a state. New York is the state with the most lawyers per capita.. My source is http://www.averyindex.com/lawyers_per_capita.php. Here are the top 3 on the list:. 1. D.C. with 276.7 per 10,000 residents.. 2. New York: 20.4 per 10,000.. 3. Delaware: 18.4 per 10,000.. Though the answer to this question may be right, the supporting data I believe is wrong. I have seen this info provided by the Avery Index and it does not reconcile with the information provided by the ABA at:. http://www.abanet.org/marketresearch/2005nbroflawyersbystate.pdf.. So take Massachusetts for instance. The Avery Index reports 14.5 lawyers per 10,000 people. Since the population of MA is approximately 6.5 Million that would mean there should be about 9,425 lawyers in MA (6,500,000 / 10,000) * 14.5. But the ABA says there are about 49,000 lawyers in MA or about 5 times more than the Avery Index says which would put the number of lawyers per 10,000 people number at about 75 not 14.5.. As I said, the correct answer still looks to be New York but to be sure the ABA numbers need to be checked against the population of each state.

What country has the most bars per capita?

I think it would have to be the Republic of Ireland, there's one bar per 300 person, so approx 15,000 in the whole country. I think England would be second at around 1 pub per 380 persons. Spain has one bar per 129 capita, being the sencond in the European ranking after Ciprus... Son the 300 bars per capita of Ireland don't get them even close to the nº1 Spanish news just announced that Spain has one bar for every 100 citizens. Making it the number one. I have to remember that in Spain a bar is more of a social gathering for the locals.

Which country has won the most olympic gold medals per capita?

ABS medal tally: Australia finishes third On 18 August, the Australian Bureau of Statistics released an alternative view of the traditional Olympic medal tally to take into account the populations of competing nations. The ABS said the traditional measure of medals as a 'raw score' did not take into account the population of the competing country, a possible factor in the ability of nations to field medal winning athletes. When this was considered, it presented a different picture to the traditional measure. The ABS analysis shows that Australia's tally at the close of the Athens Olympics equates to one Gold Medal for each 1,186,000 of the population. This ranks Australia in third place behind Norway (one Gold Medal for each 910,000 of its population) and The Bahamas ( one Gold Medal for each 317,000 of its population). http://www.abs.gov.au/Ausstats/abs@.nsf/57a31759b55dc970ca2568a1002477b6/be9f47591541e29eca256ef40004f25a!OpenDocument
