I haven't checked this overly conscientiously, so it may not be gospel. Notable winners and losers are Jamaica (every half a million of them are the best in the World) and India (all carp except one guy who they have now made a God).

UK was the only one whose population figure I made-up (to 65M) because we don't really know what our population is. Official figure is around 60M or something, not much changed from before the mass migration. If I go down the park on Sunday, it's about 90% Eastern European and I don't think they are all here on holiday
