Forest Cover 🇯🇵🇺🇸
This ranki.gg Rank it uses one measure: Forest area (% of land area), in % of land. The countries on the card are Japan, Brazil, Canada, United States, United Kingdom. You do not have to recall the numbers from memory. They sit in a column. The job is to match each country to the value that belongs to it, then lock the order in. Five tries. A card in the right spot locks. A card in the wrong spot turns red so you can move it.
Japan is more forested than Brazil: steep mountains were hard to farm, Edo-era rules protected the woods, and Japan imports most of its timber. Brazil cleared vast land for cattle and soy. Note: share of land, not hectares.
The countries on the card
| # | Country | % of land |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Japan | 68.34 |
| 2 | Brazil | 58.55 |
| 3 | Canada | 41.97 |
| 4 | United States | 33.78 |
| 5 | United Kingdom | 13.5 |
Japan leads this table at 68.34 % of land. After that: Brazil at 58.55 (9.79 % of land under Japan); Canada at 41.97 (16.58 % of land under Brazil); United States at 33.78 (8.19 % of land under Canada); United Kingdom at 13.5 (20.28 % of land under United States). Japan is 5.062 times United Kingdom. That multiple is the top row divided by the bottom row of this same table. In the wider list of 209 stored on the puzzle, Japan is number 20, Brazil is number 34, Canada is number 74, United States is number 102, United Kingdom is number 148.
The fact says Japan is more forested than Brazil because steep mountains were hard to farm, Edo-era rules protected the woods, and Japan imports most of its timber, while Brazil cleared land for cattle and soy. The note says the measure is share of land, not hectares. The source is the FAO Global Forest Resources Assessment via the World Bank. Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom complete the five, each with a smaller share than Japan.
The source line on the puzzle is: FAO Global Forest Resources Assessment via World Bank. The puzzle does not add a separate caveat beyond that source line and the fact above. ranki.gg does not invent a value that is missing from that source. If two countries were so close that the order would depend on rounding, they would not be the pair the card asks you to separate.
When you finish the puzzle, the answer screen repeats the order, the fact, and a link to the source. That link is the same URL cited here: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/AG.LND.FRST.ZS.
