According to World Population Review, this beauty pageant is judged on a variety of factors. The women are judged on their overall personality, intelligence, and ability to communicate effectively. While appearance is certainly a factor, it is not the sole determinant of who wins the competition. The women also participate in a question-and-answer session where they are asked a variety of questions on a range of topics. 

Their responses to these questions play a significant role in the judge's decision-making process. Therefore, while beauty is one of the most important factors, it is not the only factor that is considered. The women who participate in the Miss Universe pageant undergo a rigorous preparation process to ensure they are well-prepared for the competition.

The data shows the United States as the most title-holder country.
