Ok - actually Belarus executes more people per capita per year than the USA, so my idea that the USA might be worse in this respect was wrong.

Number of people in Saudi Arabia: 27 mil. (in '06)
Number of executions in 2006: 38

Number of people in the Singapore: 3.8 mil. (in '06)
Number of executions in 2006: 8

I would rather compare how many people were murdered in these countries per million ppl and that with the lowest number would be the best in this competition. Anybody knows such statistics?
