Below is a list of ten countries, with one missing. Find one attribute (for example, the population) of each country, so that if you take the first number or first letter of each country’s attribute, in the order shown, it forms a familiar ten-character number, word or phrase. What is the one attribute, and what is the missing country? If more than one country could qualify, then list the country with the largest population, as of August 2019.

    $\begingroup$ Yes, there are other options; Russia would also work, but India is clearly the largest country (by population) that fits this property. $\endgroup$
