At first glance this seems to track with Australia, US, UK on the right and China, India on the left. But it isn't really a good rule of thumb with Spain and Japan, Korea on the bottom right or Saudi Arabia on the left. 

The platitude wisdom about this is:

1. Asians are more collectivists
2. Anglosphere is more individualist
3. Catholics are institutionalists but not collectivist
4. Arabs are anti institutionalists but not individualist
