问题 The three world’s richest industrial countries are ______.
Three of the world’s smallest countries—Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Qatar—have the highest average incomes per person, according to a recent World Bank publication which measures income, output, and world populations. The small populations of these countries, combined with their tremendous oil wealth, resulted in a per capita income of $15,480 in Kuwait, $13,990 in UAE, and $11,400 in Qatar. By contrast, Bhutan, the tiny kingdom surrounded by India and Tibet, was the world’s poorest country with per capita income of only $70.
     The publication also shows that the richest of the industrial countries, Sweden, had an income of $8,670 per person, followed by the United States at $7,890, and Germany with $7,380. Europe remained the world’s richest continent, with only two countries—Albania and Turkey—having per capita incomes of less than$1,000.
     In contrast, most people in Africa and Asia continue to live in poverty, with only a handful of countries in both continents having an income of more than $1,000 per person. Japan was the richest non-oil producing nation in Asia, with an annual income of $4,910 per head. This contrasts sharply with Bangladesh’s $110, India’s $150, and China’s $410.
