Norway digs deepest for aid

The move would make Norway’s contribution the single largest per capita pledge of any nation by a wide margin.

With a population of 4.5 million, Norway’s pledge would come out to approximately $39.50 per citizen.

Denmark, meanwhile, raised its total pledge to $76 million, which comes out to $14 per person.

The third highest per capita pledge comes from the same region – Sweden, with $75.5 million, approximately $8.40 per person.

Each of those countries has reported deaths from the tsunamis.

By comparison, Japan’s pledge of $500 million – the largest of any nation – comes out to $3.93 per person, and the U.S. pledge of $350 million comes out to $1.19 per person.
