The USA has a population of 331,002,651, and of these 383 have won a Nobel Laureate. That's one laureate winner for every 864,236 people.
Europe has 455,000,000, and of these 514 have won a Nobel Laureate. That's one laureate winner for every 885,214 people.
Both unions of states have some of the world's top universities.
However, the elite does not represent any education system as a whole unless every child has equal access and opportunity to the best schooling and other factors like good diet, exercise, sleep and stable family.
I did a scan of reports on comparative standards of education. I found the international reports used many different variables, and the answers varied widely depending on how the standard was evaluated.
Although most of the sources of information appear reliable, I couldn't find a single report which could give what I considered an adequate answer.
