In Europe you'd find that only in the most remote, insular or mountainous area's and Belgium.
you got to be kidding, belgium is the except for the Netherlands the most crowded(couldn't find the correct word, about 315 (not sure) people /1km²) country .

ow I've found test results from the late nintys wich haves some pics but they are in dutch but since it's a word doc I can't post the links. but I'll give you some exact numbers and I'll post the link (you'll have to download it and understand dutch). note: these numbers are somewhat different then that of the test I was previously talking about.

some things wich I noticed:
1)Japan and Korea have verry good results and might be the 2 best (with japan as the number 1). They were the best at maths and sience but they weren't that good with laguage (the test didn't include foreign languages.)
2)We have no reliable number of the Netherland because not enough schools participated with the test.
3) VS is about the same as the average country ( example they beated: Germany, Greece, portugal, Italy )
4)southren European countrys had less grades as more northren.
5)Mexico and Brasil had much lower grades then the other countrys.
6) Canada beaten Amarica big time!
