Menzies' Law

Menzies' Law observes that smaller countries tend to have higher rates of certain issues, like health problems or economic challenges, compared to larger nations. Essentially, as a country's size decreases, its vulnerability to these issues often increases, partly because smaller nations may have limited resources, infrastructure, and capacities to address problems effectively. This pattern helps policymakers and researchers understand and anticipate challenges specific to smaller states, emphasizing the need for targeted strategies and support to improve outcomes in these contexts.
