Nobel Laureates by country:

USA- 160
UK- 110
Germany- 94
France - 54
Sweeden - 27
Switzerland - 25

Now if we divide up the numbers to make it proportional to their respective poulations......Switzerland is officially the Don Corleone!

In proportion:

The Don - Switzerland
2nd - Sweeden
3rd - UK (Go on my son!!!)
3th - Germany
5th - France

Interesting but factually inaccurate. And very strange indeed. To wit:

"Over 700 men and women, leaders within their respective domains, have had their achievements and discoveries universally recognized through the Nobel Prize. Of these, by far the largest number � more than a third � have been American citizens." This quote is from the Swedish consulate in Los Angeles. The Nobel Prize website does not list the winners by countries but with 787 winners to date, the USA would have more than 250; I believe the total is closer to 270. Your figure is off by 100 prizes.

The other figures are also not correct (as I have confirmed through several sources, but you have probably used the popular but highly inaccurate Wikipedia website -- and even they, at the top of their list, warn that it is NOT CORRECT). But they are indeed the top five countries having the most Nobel Laureates.

Then you proceed to make a list of countries with the most Nobel Laureates based on population to make a point, but only use the five countries from your first list, rather than using all countries having Nobel Laureates. That is misinformation, as a true list would most likely show St. Lucia, Iceland, Luxembourg and Bosnia in the top spots.

But what is the point of this? Why am I writing this? Because I was drawn to the title of the thread thinking it was new information about the Swiss banking community's complicity with the Nazis during WWII, or something along that line.

But you have chosen to use the name of a fictional boss of gangsters as a simile for a country honored for having its dedicated professionals earning more Nobel Prizes per capita than any other!!

Most peculiar. But at least, now, other readers can have some facts instead of fiction.
