To me its interesting when you take population into account. Like Canada has a population of 35m but makes up 4%. Also the obvious one of USA having a population of 300m yet they make up almost half of the list.

I also found it interesting that the US’s share of the top 10 companies (9/10) alone accounted for over $8t in value, or nearly 10% of the $81t in market value across over 7100 companies.
