Visual representation of time ranking (image provided)

The chart below shows the ranking of countries at 10 different points. The nice thing with this graph is that it allows you to track changes in ranking over time. I want to create something like this, but I have no idea how it was created ...

My guess is that it was created using some kind of development tool such as adobe indesign, but I hope there can be some other tools for getting such graphics (maybe even a way to do this in Mathematica or Python?) ?

Any ideas and / or suggestions on where to look would be greatly appreciated.

PS: In case I did not post this in the most suitable of many forums from stackExchange - my apologies.
