|the fact that the index has the US tied with Myanmar is extremely strong evidence that the index is BS.
Here's a bit more information; alternatively, you can read the report yourself.
TLDR, the reports are based on self-reporting, the number of people giving is weighted as heavily as the amount given, and giving to religious charities (like Buddhist monks) counts, but yes, Myanmar has a lot of people giving money to other people.
The question isn't whether the index is BS but what signal the judgement communicates. You don't learn that by investigating the index in detail but in seeing correlations between the answer to the question and other answers.
