Heres an attempt.
'England, although a very small country, is much richer than many countries lager than it.'
, 0.5/10 chance it's right.
Less than that... though you've now got half of the pattern.
I have absolutely no idea, and every similarity I come up with fails on at least one of those nine sentences. The problem is that I have no idea what to look for. And if it's not the grammar, not the syntax and not the content, what else can it be?
You've lost me!
Who said it isn't the content?
Nope.
Definately not.
I'M IN UR HED, SCREWIN WID UR BRAINZ.
No disrespect to Blake intended, but I can't believe he's the only one to have got this so far...

That’s a clarification of intent, not a guess.
The whole thing, as requoted in the post of all previous examples, is a single example of the pattern.

Less.
"Nokia" only appears in one example - and even then I only used it to follow on from Sage's post. There is no probability of Nokia, or mobile phones of any variety, being part of the pattern.

@ Famine: what puzzles me is that you say Blakes sentence is perfectly okay, but that it took you a moment to see that it is. So, it can't be anything totally obvious, even if you know what you're looking for.

GM - That's not a very good way of eliminating the possibilities, is it?
Try working out what the remainder of the pattern might be, then you can post possible correct answers with more certainty than mere guesses.
It's also important to note that it's a pattern and not just some things connecting the phrases.
ultrabeat - Nope.
Interceptor - I wouldn't say it was something glaringly obvious. There is a certain hidden nature to the solution, otherwise it'd be very easy indeed. But Blake's threw me just a little because I was looking for something else (as most people who get the solution probably would) when his version was just as valid...

Oooh..! I do believe he's...
No, only kidding. Incorrect.
One of the odd things about Famine's mind-benders in The Rumble Strip is that the amount of correct posts there is so slim - a lot less wide than in similar threads.
Nope.
(and, given that you just posted a substitution in a phrase which was correct, that should give you some clues)

Posibilities of Famine being wrong are non-existant.

- Are you kidding?
But then Famine knows the pattern (and everything else ever).
I'm leaning towards the excessive use of hyphens and commas, and where in the sentence.
In Mongolia- An east-asian country, Yaks are often thought of as suitable bed partners.
