How is this graded? Is it better to have a higher or lower score?

My country is the best...because it has me in it...and clearly I am the best.



Best countrys argument are little more than a mindless jingoistic term used to facilitate the sleeping masses to never question government.

Afhganistan = best country if you want to shoot people (with exception to various parts of colombia)
Holland = best place to get legally stoned
USA = Best buffets
France = Best place to feel arrogant
UK = Best cultural saturation exported around the globe (gotta admit, when a small island can make most of the world either speak their language, or pick it up as a secondary...theres some power there)
etc.

I might retire to Sweden however after looking at those numbers...one thing however, I noted there is no suicide %. if memory serves me right, they are very high on the suicide scale...many blame the winter darkness

on the privacy thing, its better to be high.

Communist china = 1.1

-add: I think that AU lately lost alot of points due to their sudden weird enforcement of many privacy issues....video games, internet, public discourse, etc...

having income llisted just purely as earnings means nothing, how much is a loaf of bread in the US, or sweden etc...
you have to show cost of living to put a real value on income.
these kind of lists are pretty useless tbh

The UK has Kano....Wiley....JME....

Better hip hop than the US ;-).....

It depends on the different stastic. If you visit each site you will see whether or not it is good to be high or low.

You have to admit that for a small island in the sea smaller than most US states, the UK punches well above it's weight. Biggest problem with this counttry is the weather, if we had a warmer climate (which we were promised with global warming) we would be a much more laid back society.

Well Sweden is a wonderful country to live in and we outclasses other countries if we count in how many living there, but all this are numbers...Sweden really have big flaws to...one is...the government have footing down all the pride to be Swedish, it´s even bad to have a Swedish flag in front of your home...

Thanks for the Canada info.

Doesn't seem like such a bad place...it gets such a bad rep though.

Canada is best for 1 reason.

Tim Horton's Coffee.

Obviously Australia must be the best as it is the furtherest away from the arrogant French, up themselves yanks, smelly poms and as for Canada, how can a country that has 2 men shouting at each other on their flag be any good?

Well we've got Thor and the vikings(only rivalled by ninjas), we seeded the russian empire and conquered Scandinavia against multiply countries united against us, then lost it along with our touch and became metrosexual pussycats(looking at you Stockholm) and feminists, yeah, that's about it.

The only cool thing from Canada is mounties, the coolest police in the world, uhm.. can't think of anything else, sorry canadians.

The UK has got highlanders, celts, very cool language especially when it's overly formal and posh, you make the Empire and you ruled the world.

Australia.. bunch of criminals I tell ya! No, but.. I don't really know, Crocodile Dundee? Steve Irwin and a cool accent.

France, Obelix & Asterix?
I like cigarettes and baguettes, that's a plus I guess.

And finally the US.. no cool ancient warriors except natives, you've got cowboys, Captain America, Rambo, popular culture and George Costanza, current superpower but slipping.

The numbers are not correct,you have missed out alot of info. All the countries exept norway and austria is a part of the 1954 NWO future plan. wich makes the list useless

i think Nordic countries are the best places to live, they are not overly crazy religious and not too greedy so societies are for the people not for the corporations.
