    I didn’t mean it in a dismissive way, but there’s a lot more countries than the Northwest Europe Privilege Corridor + their successful colonies. I just think there’s more to compare with that won’t leave the picture feeling so incomplete and Eurocentric.

      Which countries do you want it compared to? To me the selected make a lot of sense, all comparably rich and developed countries, where else would you find them. If you compare to poor underdeveloped countries, why compare at all. Be aware that from a euro perspective, not all of the selected are considered the cream of the crop, some are just plain mediocre, but that of course depends on the survey.
