Without doing a lot of research, it strikes me that the top of the last list is extremely small in population and diversity. There also seems to be some level of correlation to physical size of the country.

Tiny and wealthy definitely wins the day, but as you start going down the list you see populous and relatively diverse countries: Canada, New Zealand, Singapore (very diverse, not so large), Australia, Belgium, the UK, and Spain would meet those criteria to me. You could make some of those arguments about some others, depending on what diversity and largeness means. Of course, Hong Kong is very diverse itself but also really tiny (and not exactly a sovereign state).

Looking it up, Hong Kong is 93% ethnic Chinese.
