Comparing the intellectual level of each country (Essay)
@SI (stupid index) is the area of a country divided by the square of (coastline + border). Measures the approximate degree of intellectual level. The higher the number, the lower the intellectual level. Canada has a large area but is small because it has a long coastline, while the USA is large because it has many straight borders. Canada has a high intellectual level.
@The smaller the SI, the higher the intellectual level, but Indonesia has a lower UGR (university graduate ratio: Percentage of university graduates in the total population.). This also gives us a glimpse of its history as a colony.
@Russia has a surprisingly high intellectual level.
@India and China have large SI and low UGR. A small number of elites are controlling the ignorant majority of the people.
@The correlation coefficient is -0.402, with a slight correlation between the two indicators.
It is assumed that the longer a country's borders are compared to its land area, the more sensitive it is to foreign enemies. I will review the concept a little, and since conflicts over territory and others often occur not only on the coastline but also on the borderline that connects to the land, I will mainly consider the borderline that includes it, as a matter of course. And since the land area is two-dimensional with km ^ 2, to make the dimension (unit) non-unit, divide the land area by the square of the borderline (km) and divide the value by the "stupid index" (SI).
Stupid index = (land area: km ^ 2) ÷ (total border line length: km) ^ 2
Just in Wikipedia, there is a list of total coastline lengths and land areas of each country in the world (list by the length of national coastline).
Again, large countries such as Russia, Canada, China, USA, Australia, Brazil
Of course, the "stupid index: SI" is large.
However, it cannot be said that each nation's "political stupidity is known" from this index alone. Still, it seems to have a certain meaning when looking at the stupidity of Americans in the inland United States. In this year's US presidential election, many people supported Trump in the inland states in the center of the United States. It's obvious at a glance. Many white Americans who strongly supported Trump, who was a dirty politician, voted for Trump, and the states he acquired are also concentrated in the inland states in the center of the United States ... stupid dens.
By the way, the countries with large areas have large SI, Russia, the United States, China, and India have about 50 to 100, and Australia and Mexico have about 100. Canada, which has the second largest area in the world, has a coastline. Because it is long, the SI is relatively small. Brazil is unexpectedly large, with an SI of 159, which is by far the biggest. Conversely, if you look at countries with small SI, they are usually island countries, such as Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. But is it "wise"? Asian countries, including Japan, have rather large SI and are natural.
I think that the reason why a country with a small "stupid index: SI" like Japan is "stupid" is probably not a geographical factor but a geopolitical factor. In other words, I think the biggest factor is that after WW2, the United States continued to rule and the political sensibilities of not only politicians but the general public were paralyzed. This will be the same in other Asian island nations. In addition, the old letter "country" of the kanji "country" means to be confused (with suspicion) about what will happen at the borders on all sides. It is used to mean living sensitively to foreign enemies, and it is the origin of the fact that fools destroy the country.
＠SIは、国の面積を（海岸線＋国境線）の２乗で割ったもの。おおまかな智的レベルの程度を測定する。大きいほど知的レベルが低い。カナダは面積が広いが海岸線が長いので小さく、USAは直線的な国境線が多いので大きくなる。カナダは知的レベルが高い。
＠SIが小さいほど、知的レベルは高いと予想されるが、インドネシアはUGRが低い。これには植民地として支配された歴史も垣間見える。
＠インド、中国はSIが大きく、UGRが低い。蒙昧な大多数の国民をわずかな数のエリートが指嗾している。
＠相関係数は「―０．４０２」、２つの指標の間には、やや相関が見られる。
