Empathy means certainly generosity for their fellow countrymen in this context, via donation probably

What a load of utter tosh!

European nations such as the UK, Ireland, France, The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, plus the Anglosphere nations such as the US, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, have given millions in foreign aid contributions to help fund other nations, and have helped to fund and house millions of immigrants, etc.

Saudi Arabia?!

They only care about themselves and for muslims and beating women to death.

Saudi Arabia's culture is cruel, sadistic, and inhumane in comparison to western cultured nations. They're also cruel to animals.

Why such a difference between Denmark and the rest of the scandinavian countries? Same for Portugal and Spain.

I have no idea what they were asking, but i'm not sure if this is to be taken seriously:

Researchers from Michigan State University, the University of Chicago, and Indiana University conducted an online survey to look at empathy on a county-by-country level.
