    What’s up with Liechtenstein? That’s five people and a fortune, how are they competing with the US?

      Pretty sure the amount they’re listed as having on the graph is equivalent to one single homicide, due to their low population.

        Exactly. Extremely small population and short duration (just one year’s data) means even a small number of murders in a given year will easily bump it up.

        Just checked. With a population of 40k people and a rate of 2.6 murders per 100k, that comes out to a whopping 1 murder. Interestingly, their homicide rate went up by 98.55% in 2021. So… yeah… 2 people murdered.
