Just glancing at the figure, it seems like Sudan, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe are outliers. I'm wondering what the correlation coefficient would be if you neglected those.
The fact that they exist doesn't mean that their situations are necessarily comparable to those of other countries. There may very well be unique facts that impact your situation. You choosing to include those countries without considering whether there are any special circumstances may itself be ignoring the facts.
