Which would technically make Crosshill the lowest-ranked winner, being unranked. However, so was everyone else, you would suspect - I'm suspecting the only person around that played in it would be able to shed more light - so calling the nation that "set the benchmark for excellence for the next hundred years." the lowest-ranked winner misses the point.
In the KPB era, Audio andDorian & SonyaThe Sylvanaes Queendom appear to share the record for lowest sequential rank from a winner with 39th. I don't believe anyone's kept a record of the winner with the fewest KPB points in the KPB era.

In the early editions (WC1 aside) ranks were calculated based on finish in the previous cup – the lowest ranked winner was, afaik, WC4's Dennisov.

Well, IIRC, I remember visiting a site that was incredibly old but featured the post-WC1 rankings. Maybe they were Post WC2? I think it would be worth finding again. But I was about to finish elementary school back then, so feel free to ignore me.

I think I was at the beginning of elementary school when the first World Cup happened...
Man do I feel young. >.>

I highly doubt that, WC1 and 2 would be ten years ago now…

Nevermind that last bit, I was actually starting Primary School, hich according to Wikipedia is Elementary School, which isn't what I meant, which was kindergarten... man, foreign education is confusing. I still don't know what college is.
On a more related note, if we had one more Atlantian in the World Cup, exactly half of the participating teams would be from AO.
In total there are 15 from AO, 9 from Rushmore, 3 from Esportiva and 5 from other regions. I think we (AO) might be starting to take this a little too far.

To be honest, some of us AOldies (Vilita, Star, myself...technically) would comment with "only fifteen? SLACKERS!"

Yeah...
*grumbles on how there should have been 4*
Seriously though, wow, 15 from AO. So I guess AO is the Europe of NS WC?
