Omitted Countries

National Performance Gaps use per capita GNP as an indicator of the level of economic development in each country. Drastic changes in GNP over a short period of time render this indicator unsuitable. Countries in which per capita GNP is unstable or has more than halved since 1990 (mainly the newly independent nations of the former Soviet bloc) are therefore omitted from these tables.
