Answer 1

They seem to be more or less the right countries, but I'm not too sure about the order. Germany 2nd and France only 7th?



Personally I prefer this ranking, as it's actually based on a detailed methodology and verifiable numbers:

Answer 2

It is a reasonable list. Using different criteria you could make an argument to put some other countries on the list and remove some of these however.

Answer 3

Looks fine to me.
