I asked my bestfriend, Wiki, about some statistics for the upcoming Miss World 2008 pageant in Johannesburg City, South Africa and these are what he gave me unselfishly. Enjoy these information my dear fellow beauty pageant fanatics.
Along with this report are two pictures I borrowed from an equally beauty pageant fanatic from a pageant crazy island in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico.

- Antigua and Barbuda, Egypt and Honduras last competed in 2004.

Estonia, Grenada, Nepal, Panama, Romania, Slovenia and Suriname will not compete this year. Estonia, Romania, and Slovenia decided to withdraw themselves in the competition for financial issues and lack of sponsorship. Panama had problems with the regional organization and Miss Panama didn't have the South African visa at the time. Miss Suriname, Mireille Nederbiel, was not allowed to compete in Miss World by the decision of pageant organizers. The organiser of Miss Nepal pageant said it was postponing the contest scheduled for August 23, 2008 to unknown date, after the Maoist women’s wing, which has trained its sights on Miss Nepal, announced a Kathmandu Valley shutdown on the day to prevent the event.
