The Isle of Man has the world's 92nd best nationality, according to a global consultancy firm.

Henley & Partners has published its Quality of Nationality Index for 2016, compiled by law professor Dr Dimitry Kochenov.

The list shows the Island scores just under 31 per cent in areas such as human development, economic strength, peace and stability, settlement freedom and travel freedom.

Albania, Kazakhstan and Botswana all score higher - but the Isle of Man is on equal footing with the Channel Islands.
