None of those.

Coal and copper would be completely different for starters...

Countries with a great degree of biodiversity?

 

[amadeus]

Not including alcohol, right?
I am planning to go on vacation in Japan next summer

No, bars can be open 24 hours a day and beer and hard liquor are sold at every convenience store.

Countries with the largest hydro-electric dams?

 

[amadeus]

It can't be that because Paraguay would also need to be on the list.

[W|M]

That dam is in Brazilian territory.

EDIT: Brazil controls well over half of the Paraguayan economy, anyway!

 

[amadeus]

Assuming that were true, it wouldn't explain why Madagascar is on the list.

 

[W|M]

But it explains why there's Brazil, USA, Canada, India and China on the same list, while Europe isn't there!

 

[Meteor Man]

But Indonesia? ... Come on.

 

[ZeletDude]

I don't think it's anything to do with resources.. If it does the thing that comes to mind are Gold and Diamonds.. but I really don't think its those.

 

[say1988]

Indonesia is 11th, if counting ones under construction, but then you would need Canada and Russia is needed anyway.
Canada basically discounts gold and diamonds, and many raw materials

Meat production?

 

[Cutlass]

Gemstone production?

 

[emzie]

Countries with the largest amount of endangered species?

 

[Arwon]

[ZeletDude]
