List contains dictionaries and their values are again list. How to print max value and country name from the values.

data = [{'country':[2,'US']},{'country':[1,'EN']}]

Example: In values 2 is maximum and the country is 'US' so it should print instead of another dictionary. I ran the code below but I didn't get the desired result on, how to be more efficient.

for i in data:
    for m,j in i.items():
        country = j[1][1]
        points = j[1][0]


Example Output:

points = 2
country = 'US'

try:

data = [{'country': [2, 'US']}, {'country': [1, 'EN']}]

max_dic = max(data, key=lambda x: x['country'][0])
points, country = max_dic['country']

print(country)
print(points)

The below seems to work

_max = (-1,None) # assuming max cant be negative
data = [{'country':[2,'US']},{'country':[1,'EN']}]
for entry in data:
    if entry['country'][0] > _max[0]:
        _max = tuple(entry['country'])
print(_max)

output

(2, 'US')
