The North Pole is at the top of the world. It is located in the Arctic Ocean and is not part of any single country, as it is governed under international law.
The United States is the most affluent country in the world. While the USA is an affluent country looking at average income per head of population it is not in the top 5 countries of the world. For 2011, the International Monetary Fund rates Qatar as having the highest income per person while the World Bank lists Luxemborg just ahead of it.
