Abstract
Two hundred and four countries are ranked by infrastructure characteristics including transportation, health, education, and communications. The mean and standard deviation of the 204 countries were computed for each infrastructure variable. For each country and each variable, the standard normal deviate was computed as was the associated area of the standard normal deviate and added (or subtracted) to unity to create a score for each country. To ease analysis of the data, each country was placed into one of 11 geographic regions and analyzed by quartiles. Results are depicted in tabular forms.
