Sidenotes: Ties are broken if it is known which country ranked above another. Where the ranking is not known, ties are determined by age, meaning whoever placed the most recently places higher than those that haven't placed as recently. For example, Honduras ranks last because they have not placed since 1955 and Alaska ranks second last because they have not placed since 1957 and they probably never will again since Alaska is now part of the United States. This list also counts Russia as the original earned win of 2002 based on the final night results.
