I'm just going off memory here, but isn't sweden also top three in suicide rate?

naw, the baltic states got the top three in europe. i can't find anything i really trust on the internet now, i'm really tired. india seems to be the world leader, and sweden's is higher than the states, but lithuania's four times higher than sweden in men. if i'm reading these figures right, either 8.1% or 81% of lithuanian males commit suicide every year. it's one of those. in sweden it's only 2% or 20%. i don't know if it's in hundreds or thousands.

true trashcan, but sweden also has one of the world's highest per capita rates of metalheads.... coincidence?

the 81% suicide rate seems a bit high for lithuania. sounds about right for russia though...

This is my counter:
