NSC statistics

These are statistics about nations participating in Nation Song Contest, and the NSC self. The contest is now in the 24th edition so the below is a brief overview of the statistics arising from the contests so far.
*Some stats may be out of date, efforts will be made to update these soon*
==Participants/voters==
In this table you can see how many participants there were per edition, and how many of those participants voted in the semi-final and in the final. The reason why some editions have fewer voters than participants is that sometimes a nation fails to vote. Microstate Qualification has been introduced in NSC 10, which made it possible to have more participants than 42. Since NSC 14 the microstates who weren't able to qualify were obliged to vote in the semi-final and the final. [
NSC 30]] has been the most crowded edition to date, with 60 participants. In the final of NSC 22 a record number of 7 nations failed to vote.

== Winners, Runners Up & Douzers ==
Up to and including NSC 15 a total of 498 top marks of 12 points have been awarded in the NSC finals. This takes into account entries that have not voted.
As you can see by the table below the winner does not always get a lot of top marks. The exception to this is the winner of NSC5, Bokia which is the most successful entry in NSC history. The reason for this seems to be the varied musical tastes of NSC Nations. The list below shows each winner of NSC and the 12 points received versus the 12 points available. The least successful is Calypso in NSC54 which won the contest only receiving 1 x 12 points.

==Most Successful Entries==
One way of judging how 'successful' a song is is the percentage of the possible points it could get in total - i.e., if it received 12 points from every voting country other than itself, it would have 100%. Applying this formula to all the entries since NSC 5, we see that these are the most succesful songs:
# 	Nation 	Edition	Song 	Artist 	 % Of The Available Vote
1. 	Bokia 	NSC 5 	Prava Ljubav 	Lana i Luka 	62.8%
2. 	Scorpionia 	NSC 14 	Hiv A Vegtelen 	Crystal 	42.9%

6. 	Alinta 	NSC 9 	My Immortal 	Evanescence 	36%
7. 	Maccha-Brugia	NSC 22 	The City Is At War 	Cobra Starship 	34.9%
8. 	Alinta 	NSC 14 	Only Time 	Enya 	34.3%
9. 	Vorhota 	NSC 12 	C’est Une Belle Journée 	Mylène Farmer 	33.9%
10.	Vedatistan 	NSC 23 	Angels 	Morandi 	33.6%
11.	Astoria 	NSC 8 	Behind These Hazel Eyes 	Kelly Clarkson 	33.5%

Other nations who no longer enter with a long wait since their first won include Tomstria (23 years), Andromeda and Salona (22 years each) and Venera (21 years). Medina first entered in NSC3, and is still waiting for a win as a part of Comodina. Brugia, Maccha-Bently and Cicvara never won as independent states in their own right, but have since won as parts of Maccha-Brugia and Spila respectively.
