Which is Einsteins most favourite geocaching country?

A few weeks ago we looked at which country had the most favourites per cache. But as Albert Einstein teached us: "Every thing is relative". So this week we don't look at the number of favourites an average cache scores, but to the favourites relative to the number of found logs in a country.

When we look at the numbers we see again the countries with few caches score the extremes. Yemen with only two caches with eighteen founds and five favourite ends in the first place with almost thirty percent favourites per log. Second are the Wallis and Futuna Islands which only cache collects with twenty five percent favourites. Third place for Tonga with just under twenty five percent favourites.

Again we look at the countries with at least ten thousands of  caches. Then we got the following result:
Switzerland 7.4%
Netherlands 7.0%
Belgium 6.8%
Germany 6.6%
Ireland 6.3%
Austria 5.8%
Denmark 5.8%
Norway 5.5%
Sweden 5.4%
United Kingdom 5.0%
New Zealand 5.0%
South Africa 4.9%
Finland 4.8%
Australia 4.7%
Italy 4.6%
France 4.5%
Canada 4.5%
Spain 4.5%
Slovakia 4.3%
Czechia 4.1%
Portugal 4.1%
United States 3.9%
Poland 3.2%
Japan 3.1%
Who would expect the country Einstein moved to in 1895 and became a citizen of in 1901 would be his favourite country.

When we compare this week top with that of a tree weeks ago, we see the Netherlands has dropped one place with seven precent. Belgium gained one place and Germany lost one. The last country with more than six percent favourites per log is Ireland.
