What is the best country to live besides Australia?

[hypochondriac]

Is it Norway or Denmark? They seem to have a good system for social services like medical care unemployment and pension. Is that right? High taxes perhaps but everything is taken care of. I like that .

 

[hollydolly]

Sweden maybe? Japan perhaps?

Have always heard Switzerland gets high marks too, for all around good lifestyle. Japan also.

I'd vote for any of the Scandanavian countries.

 

[Keesha]

Canada.

 

[Lara]

North America. I also like Norway but not the weather.

Norway comes first...
New Zealand 2nd

Sweden 6th
Uk comes 7th..

Canada 8th...

Ireland 10th...

America doesn't make the league table nor does Japan,

Okay ... but I'm not going anywhere...

The United States of America, better the devil you know!

The title of this thread cracks me up. Well played, Hypo!

America doesn't make the league table

As far as I am concerned the US will never be more than a second tier nation until we have universal health care.

And get our outrageous levels of gun violence sorted out.

There must be something about America that makes you want to stay here and caravans of people risking all to get in.

 

[StarSong]

Of course there is, Lara. It's what I know, and it's home to me and most of the people I love.

That doesn't make me blind to its flaws.

 

[Lara]

I didn't realize the thread was about flaws. I thought it was about what's best.

good question ... people are risking their lives to get into the US all the time, from all over the world.

..or p;haps the one you're used to....

I've lived in several different countries , I don't live in the one I was born and raised in, but I prefer this one for overall quality of life to where I'm from...

I'd prefer to live in New Zealand compared to this one..they say it's like the Uk was 30 years ago..I'd like that!!

 

[fuzzybuddy]

I guess what is the best nation to live in, depends on who you are. Unfortunately, I haven't found any nation , which wants to support me, as well as I wish. So how much cash you have really is going to determine how well you enjoy living there. And while supposedly these things shouldn't matter, religion and race are factors. And it would be nice to speak your new home's language.

Very true

I've been to a few continents

Nice places, some

Wouldn't wanna live there

Home is a comfort zone

 

[SeaBreeze]

For me it would be the United States of America (universal health care would make it better), second would be Canada.

Wales-everyone gets free prescriptions regardless of age and we all get a bus pass at 60 with no time restrictions.

So does Scotland ....because we English tax payers pay for our own and you lot as well...

 

[Tommy]

Depends entirely on one's definition of "best". Defining the attributes that are most important to you.

I've been to Australia. Lovely country. Lovely people. But I certainly wouldn't want to live there.
