Which Country Would You Pick?

i voted for Luxemborg but I was just thinking round Holland or somewhere like that because of the teen pregnancie rates and drug stuff and how laidback they are, but then i realised Germany was on the list and since i've been there and its so lovely i wouldn't mind living there either.

 

I was looking for the Netherlands, oh well, guess I'm gonna have to stay a criminal,I went for Switzerland, because they have a policy of nuetrality.

 

None of the above

 

Haha come to think of it, these are pretty luxurious countries. No third-world countries here? Interresting. Then again, all porche's have an angry mechanic behind it who wants to kill the rich bastard who'se driving it.

 

The order is alphabetical.

The top ten is by GDP Per Capita, Life Expectancy and HDI.

There were some clear front runners in all those 3 categories, I mean that placed top ten in all 3.

Such as Switzerland, Luxembourg and Iceland for example.

The others I had to factor in, like the U.K. is pretty low on life expectancy but they make up for it by havign relative high GDP Per Capita and HDI.

I had to factor in the ranking of those 3 combined.

Like if a country was 5th in GDP Per Capita, 3rd in life expectancy and 8th in HDI.

That's 16/3 equaling 5.3

That's how I got those top ten, it wasn't all that hard, some countries like I said were way up there, U.K. came in at tenth.

 

What do you not get about top ten in HDI, GDP Per Capita and Life Expectancy?

Those are the three main categories by which most people judge " great " countries on.

* Average wealth of a citizen, average.
* Quality of life such as food, technology, shelter etc
* Better chances of living to 80, lol

Who wants to live in 3rd world countries unless you're already rich?

 

Not picking to live now, but I am seriously thinking about going to Japan next year.

 

Canada for life baby!~~~

oh, and japan kicks ass.

 

Oh canada baby! i love it here. sure, i'd love to travel all over the place but this is my home.i've been on the east coast and the west coast and it's all really great

 

Been there, done that and bought a t-shirt!

Japan is a great country to live in, you never get bored! Plus, the raves are wicked

 

i know i've answered this before. i'd still pick the immaginary country inside my head over any of them. each and all have their points, both good AND bad. as does the one where i'm living now, which i see no other merit in then its being the only one with which i have any real familiarity.

there are places i like what i hear people say about. and places i like the pictures i've seen of. and that's really the beggining and end of what i know about it.

i have my own 'top spec' for the kind of country i'd like to live in. and none on this planet come close to meeting it without at least one glaring contrary discouragement. and that also includes the one that surrounds me.

mountains, trees, trains, and people who would rather help each other then beat each other over the head, who would rather create and explore then try and impress each other by mere accumulation they had no part in the creative aspects of.

that's the short list for me. i could list all the things i think i like and dislike about each of them, but except for the u.s., and one particular little corner of it, 2/3 of my doing so would be all speculation.

switzerland, japan, nepal, new zealand, canada, ...

but any place NOT dominated by christianity nor islam that has a relatively cool rather then warm climate. unfortunately no place not dominated by christerism that i know of speaks ameringlish, which is the only language i really know, and i'm really rotten at languages anyway, so i'm pretty much screwed into staying right where i am, even if i could afford to go somewhere else and explore it, which i have no way of doing.

other then to stick out my thumb and leave chance to the wind, and i'm getting a little too old to survive very long sleeping under bridges as i once did when i was a good bit younger.

Canada...if it wasn't so damn expensive

 

Wow, after 73 votes Canada is way out in front, we'll see what the result is after 100 votes, that way you can get a clear percentage..

Go Switzerland, 3 left to double digits!

 

Come on, Canada can't be that good. We got a big ball of land here, choose haha.

 

I think I would choose Canada, I have always wanted to travel there and see why I feel such a draw to that country.

 

I'd really love to go to norway, the landscape is just so beautiful.

 

Sweden.

 

for sure not UK (sorry).. I don't like all those developed, modern countries with modern people.. I'm looking forward to coming back to Poland (ahh I love this country).. but it's also my dream to see how it is to live in India..

 

.. and so I picked Norway

 

yay canada wins
