They have their All Time Money List (also as per country), Global Poker Index ranking which also gives away the title of Player of the Year.

Remember the poker player rankings change as per the criteria set by those who publish it. Ranking could be yearly, half-yearly, monthly, or set for a particular time period, for example leaderboard rankings be it live or online poker. Poker player ranking is a good way to infuse some healthy competition among players. Nobody is really out there to get you! It is just the good old quest to be on the top of the list.
