Can You Guess This Country?
Each month we’re spotlighting a nation where we show an unlabeled Ecological Footprint and biocapacity graph, and offer a hint. Now, can you identify the nation?
February Hint
On February 27, this nation will enter national ecological deficit—its citizens’ demand for food, timber and carbon dioxide absorption will begin to exceed what the nation’s ecosystems can renew over the full year.

In this European nation, citizens over age 18 must vote in national elections and often result in large voter turnout. Popular food items include mussels served with fried potatoes, waffles and chocolate.
