Just 117 nations have been incorporated into this list. Fifteen nations were excluded as they didn't have information. A portion of these are additionally low pay nations so it is conceivable they also would have generous degrees of craving. 

Seventeen nations which have a score of under five (that will be, that their degrees of appetite are low) have not been given individual positions yet have been positioned all things considered. What's more, beyond what one nation could have a similar positioning in the event that they got a similar score in 2019.
