there are 360 degrees in a circle.
5% * 360 = 18 degrees (spain)
15% * 360 = 54 degrees (france)
15% * 360 = 54 degrees (germany)
65% * 360 = 234 degrees (uk)
sum of the angles should equal 360 degrees
18 + 54 + 54 + 234 = 360
calculations are good.
degrees for the angles from the center of the circle are as shown.
