Answer 15

Using only this chart is an irresponsible use of data. Brunei is a little sultanate surrounded by Indonesia. The Sultan of Brunei is a repressive ruler and one of the richest people in the world. Average that with the few others in the country who don't make much, and it looks like people there are doing better than people in the USA.
So the answer, using one chart, is that it looks like Brunei folk are better off than Americans.
