No, not Sweden. After the US and Country X, the next three are Malaysia, Australia and Malta. The number I have does include trucks and motorcycles, which would be relevant for Malaysia and Malta high numbers, but not relevent for Country X. The worlds lowest are Malawi and Afghanistan, with less than one per thousand inhabitants. Not counting trucks or motofcycles, but only passenger cars, the USA barely ranks in the top ten, and proably lower than that, since fewer countries are reported in that statistic. That may be due to the SUVs and Pickups in the USA not counting as "cars".

What were the names of the other two of Columbus' ships, that sailed off the edge of the world and were lost? (just kidding)

The two ships were

'Are We There Yet?' and

'Oops They Were Right'.
