suicide rate global and by country

the suicide rate is relatively low even in the countries with higher rates as i will explain.
many african countries have rates double the global rate which is 111 per million while many african countries "over 200 per million men." i isolate men because women are far lower rates which affect each country average as i will explain.
200 per million is objectively far less than 1% a mere ratio of 2 in 10,000 so "objectively very rare."
the pattern indicates that america which is often criticized for its common guns, has lower suicide rate than countries where fire-arms are less common. this fact indicates that when people choose to kill themselves they find methods besides guns.
in poor countries where the suicide rate is high as i will quote below, they find pesticides which is the most common method to self poison. in america where the rate is lower, 40% of suicides are by gun... an anti-gun would say "that is serious 40%" as if 40% would still be alive and stretching "almost half would still be alive if no guns" while objectively less than half, while most found other methods. the pro gun would say "look at the big picture 40% is less than half, the other u.s. suicides, 60% most find other ways such as hanging and those 40% in america would find other ways". the high rate of hanging suicide *reminds me of the video "red". 
in the big picture other countries where guns are less common have larger rates of suicide and by other means not guns. in contrast the americas have smaller rates of suicide.
ONE
note: updated info shows russia and lithuania added:
lit' 4.5 men /10k
rus 4.4
less
guy' less: 6.3m insted 6.5
sur' 3.9 insted 4.1.
older data:
what are the TEN ten countries with highest rates per population?
lesotho guyana and their neighbors in the nile continent, and north of the amazon river.
n=nile continent, a=amazon continent
five countries have 4 or more in ten thousand men.
__
lesotho,n, 14 in 10,000 men.  i isolate "men in 10,000 men" as above.  2019 highest m+w 7.2/10k
guyana, a, 6.5 men [north from amazon river and its neighbor also hi] 2019 #2 mw 4
moz', n, 4.3 men
surin', a, 4.1 [north from amazon river and its neighbor also hi] 2019 mw  2.5 #8
c.a.r. 4 
russia 3.8 2019 mw 2.5 #9
zimbab', n, 3.8 
s.af' 3.8 m 2019 mw 2.4 #10
lithuania 3.6 m, 2019 mw 2.6 #7
botswana 3.6 m
the rest have less: 3.3 or less see below. america haters will notice that u.s. is not in the top ten and will probably feel angry that americans do not kill themselves more often. "death to america" they often say. the rate in u.s. is far below the rate in african countries.
note: many successful suicides were AFTER failed attempts... indicating they wanted it and did not regret, however religions and cultural taboo discourages suicide.
a pro relligion would say "you think life is bad? when you die and burn in the fire of hell for eternity it will be worse dont kill yourself" while the person who attempted suicide DID try again because they "do not care" or want to end the pain or do not agree with the religious faith common in their society.
as above the global rate of suicide is objectively far below 1% of population. 111 per million means that per ten thousand around 1 kills themself in suicide. in the countries where suicide rates are high the men more often kill themselves than women, for example finland and belarus, which are not in the ten above and have lower rates.
finland 1.34 in 10,000 yet the men 2 per 10,000 the national average is affected by female: less 7 per 100,000 so 3 times more men.
belarus has higher rates than finland. 1.65 /10k, and again among suicides far more men, 3 in 10,000 0.03% six times more than women. is that due to men paying divorcees while women receive money and wanna live despite equal depression?  in the big picture the pattern continues for example african countries have higher rates and the pattern continues men higher rates than women.
canada is near the gobal rate 1.03 per 10,000 so lower than global rate 1.11 as above. again 3 times more men then women.
central african republic has higher rate, double canada and double the global rate, 2.3 per 10,000. among them 3.96 almost 4 per 10,000 men, four times the global rate. their national average is lower due to fewer women.
in israel: 4 times as many men than women, while the rate is lower: 5 in 100,000. a jew-hater feels annoyed that jews have "less suicide" wishing more deaths, while pro jew rejoice that the rate of israel which includes jews with other faiths and cultures have a lower rate than canada.
in u.s. among suicides 3 times more men than women.  the rate is objectively higher than global rate and also objectively far below many african countries, as above.
where is the highest rate? not japan... that is in fictional sources and rumors that i heard probably relying on that fiction.
the highest rates by region:
in the nile continent:
Lesotho 14.7 in 10,000 men. 
moz' 4.3 men
c.a.r. 4 
s.af' 3.8 more than similar
zimbab' 3.8 
botswana 3.6 m
six of the ten with highest rates are in the nile continent. many african countries have rates double the global rate.
two are north from amazon river :
guyana 6.5 m 
surin' 4.1
other hi:
russia 3.8 men
lithuania 3.6 
lower than the ten but 3 in 10,000 men or more:
ukraine 3.3 per 10k men, 
kazak' 3.1 but less than similar 2:
mongolia 3.1 
urugauy 3.1 tied.
belarus 3 m
relative to these the others in africa are "far from the worst and objectively less by far" despite double the global rate.
conclusion: even suriname 4.1 in 10,000 is 0.04% objectively very rare. so do not be the rare harmful one who hurts your "closest friend" your own body.
