Washington -- Seventeen of the world's poorest countries are now eligible to compete for grants from the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), the new U.S. aid agency designed to support developing countries' efforts to eliminate poverty through pro-growth reform, says MCC Chief Executive Officer Paul Applegarth.
Applegarth stressed that eligibility is no guarantee of a grant for any of the countries and that MCC officials will examine all proposals to see which promise the greatest amount of poverty reduction and economic growth.
Applegarth said that the MCC also continues working with so-called "threshold countries" that are moving in the right direction but have not yet met MCA criteria.

 Major Religions Ranked by Size
This list is based primarily on the degree of doctrinal/theological similarity among all the various sub-groups which belong to these classifications, and to a lesser extent based on diversity in practice, ritual and organization.
In many countries (Germany is a good example) there is also segment of the population which is counted as adherents of a religion, but which do not personally profess belief in that religion.
On the other hand, there are no countries in which people are automatically assigned to the Baha'i Faith at birth (as is the case with Islam, Christianity, Shinto, Buddhism, and other faiths), so their numbers aren't inflated with people who have never willingly participated in or been influenced by the religion while adults.

 HDI - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia
Those high on the list often advertise it (e.g., Jean Chrétien, ex-Prime Minister of Canada [1]), as a means of attracting talented immigrants (economically, individual capital) or discouraging emigration.
The report for 2005 shows that, in general, the HDI for countries around the world is improving, with two major exceptions: Post-Soviet states, and Sub-Saharan Africa, both of which show steady decline.
Worsening education, economies, and mortality rates have contributed to HDI declines amongst countries in the first group, while HIV/AIDS and concomitant mortality is the principal cause of decline in the second group.
