    What’s the reason for excluding so many european countries in this graphic?

        UK, Switserland, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldavia.

        Cyprus is included for some reason.

        Which two of the above were you referring to?

              The US does look bad. There is no make involved. The US homocide / gun deaths numbers are en par to some failed states or those with civil or actual war.

      The UK not being included makes me think that these are only EU member countries? I don’t know for sure though.

          It literally says Eurostat in the bottom right

          Eurostat (European Statistical Office; DG ESTAT) is a Directorate-General of the European Commission (…). Eurostat’s main responsibilities are to provide statistical information to the institutions of the European Union (EU) and to promote the harmonisation of statistical methods across its member states and candidates for accession as well as EFTA countries.

      Pretty sure the UK is no longer part of Europe. The greyed out countries aren’t part of Europe, so why would they be included?
