Break from what? How do those numbers support the breakup argument? :) Also the numbers are for ease of doing business and are not predictors of future growth, HDI etc. Also are the numbers high for those countries because they broke up? Also the US is number 5 in that list and is united.

There were 500+ Princely States and India never existed till Portuguese/French/British arrived in 1505.
