The richest countries of the world

My manifesto "Gender Democrat" is based upon the connection between Gender Equality (the Gender Empowerment Index) and the Human Development Index (which is not only about the "richness" of a country, I admit).

But in almost any statistics about the richest countries of the world you will find Norway, Iceland, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Canada, Finland, Belgium, ... which are also nearly always top-ranked in the Gender Empowerment Index (made by UNDP every year)
