The United States of America has performed the best throughout the pageant's entire history with eight winners, eight first runners-up, six second runners-up, one third runner-up, five fourth runners-up, six finalists, and eighteen semi-finalists. Miss USA has missed the semi-finals only four times: 1976 (Barbara Peterson, from Minnesota), 1999 (Kimberly Pressler, from New York), 2002 (Shauntay Hinton, from the District of Columbia), and 2010 (Rima Fakih, from Michigan). In 1957, Leona Gage, from Maryland, was disqualified from the semi-finals after it was revealed that she was married and a mother.
Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo from Rhode Island is the 8th American to hold the Miss Universe title.

After the USA, Venezuela is the next most successful nation in terms of overall placements in the semi-finals (38); it is followed in turn by Brazil (31), Colombia (30), Sweden (29), Germany (21), Israel, India & South Africa (20), England & Puerto Rico (19 each), Finland, Greece & Japan (18 each) Mexico, Norway, Philippines & Peru (17 each), Canada, France & Australia (16 each). Of these countries, only England has yet to win the contest (though now competes as part of Great Britain or United Kingdom)
Miss Universe 2009 Stefania Fernandez is the 6th Venezuelan to capture the crown of Miss Universe and gave Venezuela its first ever back to back Miss Universe titles!

Before becoming states in 1959, Alaska and Hawaii both sent delegates to the pageant during the 1950s. In fact, Miss Hawaii was 1st runner-up in 1952 and 2nd runner-up in 1958 (before winning Miss Universe as Miss USA in 1997), while Miss Alaska reached the semifinals in 1957.
The 1st Miss Universe 1st Runner-Up is Hawaii's Elza Kananionapua Edsman.

After USA, Venezuela ranked second in terms of consecutive placements in the semi-finals: 21 years, from 1983 to 2003, nearly beating the United States' 22-year streak between 1977–1998. Of those 21 years, 13 times in a row Venezuela made the top 6 or higher (1991–2003).[/color][/size][/b]

Finland has had the most consecutive runners-up. For five years, from 1965 to 1969, its delegates placed among the five finalists without interruption (1965: Virpi Miettinen, first runner-up, 1966: Satu Östring, first runner-up, 1967: Ritva Lehto, third runner-up, 1968: Leena Brusiin, second runner-up, and 1969: Harriet Eriksson, first runner-up). This incredible feat is now being challenged by the Philippines, who has placed in the top 5 for three consecutive years without interruption (2010: Venus Raj, fourth runner-up; 2011: Shamcey Supsup, third runner-up; and 2012: Janine Tugonon, first runner-up).
Miss Universe 1969 1st Runner-Up Harriet Eriksson is the last Finnish to finish a 1st Runner-Up placement for Finland. Miss Philippines Gloria Diaz gained the Miss Universe crown that year.
