Bob Cringely discusses in his article "Leading Men: Cisco engineering units are the emerging measure of global power." how the number of CCIEs per capita could be used as an indicator of the countries that will be leading in technology, and presumably economic development and power.
The article discusses a few particular cases. In an attempt to contribute to the article we thought it would be nice to have the ratios for all countries mentioned on the Cisco website.
