Socially closest countries
Distance is computed on 17 value questions the two societies were both asked, standardised within each survey so that a different questionnaire does not pass for a different society. Similarity is relative to the widest distance in the world.
Every number carries its source and year. Where a country is missing, it is missing — we do not interpolate.
