Boasting two Nobel Laureates, which small country has the most Nobel Prize Winners per capita?
Answer Saint Lucia
The tiny island of St. Lucia has nabbed two Nobel prizes, one for economics in the form of Sir Arthur Lewis' award in 1979, the other for literature in the form of Derek Walcott's award in 1992. Being that the population of St. Lucia is a mere 180,000 people, their rate of Nobel Prize Laureates per capita is about 10.8 per million. Not too shabby! Comparatively, with their 383 Nobel Laureates, the U.S. rate per capita is about 1.17 per million.
