Head to head
Iran vs Uzbekistan, explained
Iran vs Uzbekistan, head to head across 64 shared rankings. Iran ranks higher in 48, Uzbekistan ranks higher in 16. On that count Iran comes out ahead overall, though each ranking measures something different, so the detail below matters more than the tally.
Ranking by ranking: in Countries with the highest soybean yields, Iran is #28 with 2.44 tonnes per hectare and Uzbekistan is #1 with 4.33 tonnes per hectare (Uzbekistan ahead by 27); in Countries with the highest fossil fuel subsidies as a share of GDP, Iran is #1 with 27.79 % of GDP and Uzbekistan is #3 with 12.67 % of GDP (Iran ahead by 2); in Countries with the largest cumulative CO2 emissions from flaring, Iran is #2 with 1,741.61 million tonnes and Uzbekistan is #32 with 117.06 million tonnes (Iran ahead by 30); in Countries with the highest groundnut yields, Iran is #5 with 4.9 tonnes per hectare and Uzbekistan is #2 with 13.21 tonnes per hectare (Uzbekistan ahead by 3); in Countries with the highest CO₂ emissions from gas flaring, Iran is #3 with 42.9k thousand tonnes and Uzbekistan is #44 with 829.55 thousand tonnes (Iran ahead by 41); in Countries producing the most natural gas, Iran is #3 with 2,648.25 TWh and Uzbekistan is #19 with 400.33 TWh (Iran ahead by 16).
Within each ranking both entries are measured by the same metric from the same source at the same time, which makes every row a like-for-like comparison. Across rankings the metrics differ, so a lead in one does not cancel out a deficit in another. The rank history chart tracks both entries through every published snapshot of the first shared ranking.
Dates shown next to each ranking are the capture dates of the snapshots used, so you always know how current a comparison is. Each entry also has a profile page listing every ranking it appears in, and each ranking has a quiz if you want to test whether you could have named the top 10.
Top10Earth never estimates or edits a value: each number is fetched from its source, hashed, stored and ranked by software, then checked by a quality gate before it is published. If a refresh fails the gate, the previous snapshot stays live and the problem is reviewed by a person.
