{{Multiple issues|
{{update|date=August 2019}}
{{more citations needed|date=April 2017}}
}}
This '''list of top international rankings by country''' includes global-scale lists of countries with rankings (this list only contains [[List of sovereign states|sovereign states]]), sorted by country that is placed top or bottom in the respective ranking.
In order to limit the scope of the list and distinguish notable statistical indicators from trivial ones, entries in this list should contain a link to one of the following:
* A [[list of countries]] with the corresponding ranking
* An article which contains the corresponding ranking in one of its sections
* A global-scale map reflecting the corresponding ranking
