i made a poll after the 2000 contest to see what the average number of points each country awarded the winning song. At the time, Russia had a perfect 12 (from 5 participations) and so did Latvia (from one participation). Morocco had an absolute 0 (didn't like Johnny Logan) and Croatia has something like 4 point avergae to the winning song.

Don't remember the rest of the results. I actually donated these results to Jarmo's Eurovision Statistics site but he decided not to use them i guess
