Turkey #1... wait, which 3 countries are outdoing us in inflation?

Without looking, my guesses are Venezuela and Argentina. I'll go look and see how close I was.

Edit: It proves difficult to find a consensus ranking, but the top countries seem to consistently involve Zimbabwe, Sudan, Argentina, Venezuela, Lebanon, and Turkey. The order changes depending on the metric of what defines inflation and over what time period you're looking at.
