And they all(except I just dont know about Singapore) have very secular societies, low crime rates, participative democracies(except for Singapore) AND some version of universal healthcare.
Americans are brainwashed into thinking their country is something special..I dont think any of these countries requires its children to take a daily loyalty oath, either. When Americans begin to see the US as it really is, then, perhaps, it might start to become somthing Americans might be proud of

I'm from the Country second from the top and after following Americas politics for the last 10 years I can tell you with all goodwill that I could never live in America being as corrupt as it is. Nothing against Americans I wish you the best but you must get rid of the corruption in your Republican party (yes there are corrupt Democrats but nowhere near as many as republicans)

@SuperSkarmDG Thanks for the interesting comments about SIngapore. I didnt mean it didnt belong on the list, I only meant I, personally didnt know. I have either been in, lived in or had friends from all the other countries in the list. I myself am British, a country that can only hope to become less corrupted in future. What will help us is a fairly free press. So we are locked in a constant struggle against corruption. Singapore sounds like a place very pleasant to live in

@lord666christoph But Canada and Australia are not crowded at all, lots of free space.

@CobinRain Singapore has many rules, but it's rules that are relevant and necessary, meaning it can still be pretty democratic. Singapore has a very low crime rate, since if you commit a crime punishments are rather harsh, but in reality you have lots of freedom there, just must follow laws. I mean in certain US states, they kill you for committing crimes, which sucks. I don't know to much though, so people don't dislike me and make rude replies.

@gr0mithtimon I don't know, perhaps an increased homogeneity which would lead to a decrease in dissent which would streamline results in a number of political areas. I can imagine a possible increase in the ease of delivering education, health care (not insurance), transportation and infrastructure, even when considering population density. I have no numbers to support these ideas, just perception on how things turn out.
-
You missed the Netherlands, it has a population over ten million. In what way do you think population size has an effect? (Don't make the mistake of thinking all these countries have a low population density; some do, some do not.)
-
An interesting observation: these are all very small countries with populations that don't reach the tens of millions. Only Canada and Australia have populations in the tens of millions. I think that might just have some effect.
-
Yay, Canada's on the list!
-
Which countries were the big corrupted losers? The bottom of the barrel consists of:
Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea, Kyrgyzstan, Venezuela, Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Burundi, Chad, Sudan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Myanmar, and in last place - Somalia.
Having expatriated from the U.S. to the Netherlands, I can vouch for the lack of "dirty tricks" here and the magic of socialized medicine. Too bad that Geert Wilders is injecting hate and bigotry into Dutch politics.
-
This is consistent with all studies of living standards and peaceful modern societies.
It is usually secular, good hybrids of capitalism and socialism, democratic, and well educated populations.
Which America is either failing or starting to fail on several counts, lets see if America pull our heads out of our ass or doomed to fail.
I'm sorry I don't understand, where do these numbers come from and are they based on any sorta fact?
