Which country has the most natural scientists or the one that's mostly focused on the natural sciences?

Question

Is it South Africa? I really want to know.

Answer 1

The number is not that important as the percentage. In case of China or India, the population is so high, that the number of Natural Scientists will be much more than those in countries like South Africa. If I am not much mistaken, the number of Earth Scientists in Chinese Geological Survey alone will be more than 30,000.
