I guess that rules out population based stuff.

OK, so you are getting a clue whether you like it or not. The same value, but divided by population, mostly because it has an interesting set of countries at the top. These are the top 6 countries:
And so the original is at the top of this page:

Luxembourg 6
Chile 5
Greece 4
Tunisia 3
Iran 2
Portugal 1And so the original is at the top of this page:

This data is from 6 months in 2016, and I was probably responsible for about 1 10,000th of the UK value.
It is probably closer to the last map than either of these 2 words, but not that close at all.

I would have said number of students, but can't be (due to a couple of issues with other countries).
Is it about some scientific order?
Alternatively: para-education (as in study-centers and tutors)
Alternatively #2: plastic surgery or beauty-related (relatively low position of Unbest Korea and Italy deterred me)

Very much to do with the practice of science, and many of these counts will be generated by students, but it is not related to a scientific order or specifically science education. I expect North Korea should have a significant value, but theirs is probably being reported with China.
PHD holders would also be a decent bet, I think.
IIRC Portugal has a small (relatively) percentage of its population with university education, but maybe either virtually all of those go on to MA or PHD, OR (something I once read somewhere) in Portugal any uni degree gives you the title of "Doctor".

No, nothing to do with qualifications.
No. Science in general, not any particular field.Robotics seminars are quite popular here. Can't think of any other guess
No, but that somewhat closer. Forget the "fi" bit though.Publications of scifi books
One of the clues I was going to give were different people who may consider this positive or negative (this is all my supposition, as far as I am aware none of these people have expressed an opinion):
Positive:
- Richard Stallman
- 2020 Bill Gates (?)
- Me
- Galileo
- 1990's Bill Gates
- RIAA
- Bill Bar

Closer, but not quite.
Some actual numbers be any help (least significant digits changed to zero, so rounded down, to avoid google answering the question)?
