If youre going to add Hong Kong the way you did, dont make it an answer.

If you do want to make it an answer, accept "Hong Kong". This is almost impossible to get.

Great to see how the lowest score in 2015 (and in fact already in 2003) is still higher than the global highscore in 1991. Humanity may be making some progress after all. The HDI is a limited and potentially flawed measure for that, I know, but still, it's a good sign.
