The percentage of the population that's illiterate is way higher than it has any business being.
Like "can't read at an elementary school level".
Wow, those figures are shocking. US of A, 1st economy in the world, 1st military power in the world and our space, 36th in literacy rate. I am sad for fellow Americans :(
This is a deceptive statistic. It merely indicates that many countries like Uzbekistan and North Korea falsely report 100% literacy rates. Look here. The USA literacy rate is actually about the same as that of other wealthy Western democracies.
North Korea probably does have high literacy so the people can read and understand all the propaganda.
