As many of you know, I keep track of the WA rankings daily and find it's a great way to keep track of how you are doing in each category over time if you post here regularly. I also keep track of the top 10 and bottom 10 each day, to give these nations extra recognition. There's no shame in a bottom 10 spot, it's often as hard or harder to achieve as a top 10 spot.

I also award a daily MVP award to the nation in the top/bottom 10 who has improved (or "improved") the most. Will be more relevant the second time a category is ranked, until then it will be awarded to the #1 nation.
