Canada is a country in North America that is next to the United States, and it's the 2nd largest country in the world by area (size is 9.985 million km²). This country has 10 provinces, and 3 territories. Canada became a dominion on July 1, 1867. Its 10 provinces are: Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. Its 3 territories are: Yukon, Northwest territories, and Nunavut. Toronto, Quebec City, Montreal, Vancouver, Winnipeg, St. John's, and Fredericton are major cities in the country. Canada's capital city, Ottawa, is in the southeastern province of Ontario, near the city of Montreal ...read more. Canada's good because our economy doesn't really have any thing to do with war so that tax will be low and if you live in Alberta you don't have to pay PST. If you want to move you don't have to ask the government to move and our economy is now the most stable. If you ask me Canada is the land of the free and we don't worry about people blowing up planes. Canada doesn't own any nuke so people don't think of us as a threat but we are one of the most peaceful places on earth.
Canada is awesome. Really helpful and polite people. There are a lot of immigrants so they don't care about your nationality or skin color. They are really open to foreigners.
The nature is simply breathtaking. In British Columbia, you got mountains, ocean and vast pine tree forests all together. There are a lot of parks and pleasant places in the cities.
The cities are clean, organized and the services work well. It's really safe. You don't see beggars in the streets or even shantytowns. I am used to it because I live in Brazil, but in Canada, even big cities such as Vancouver have nothing of that.
Economy and education are pretty good as well. There are a lot of opportunities. It's really peaceful, enjoyable and nice. I've lived there once and I will come back to stay definitely. You won't regret visiting Canada.
I love this imaginary country it has to be the best of the best and who say that USA is the best is a lair with all my respect to USA. Canada is the best trust me. Schools, Medical treatment are for free. Besides that Canada is rat and snakes free. Moreover, there is beeping on the road which is having lots of traffic. In addition, it has some of the best schools and universities in the world like Toronto University and we also have high wages which could reach 160$/hour. It is one of the most green and clean countries in the world which has fun places like Canada Wonderland and West Edmonton Mall. Finally, it is peaceful and doesn't have any kind of wars and the people are friendly too.
It's definitely the best country to live. Everything that is good about the USA, we have them here in Canada. The infrastructure us the same, nice road system, diversity of products, high quality goods, food, economy. So we beat the US by having a free health system, nicer people, more beautiful women, no violence, respect. There is absolutely nothing to complain about Canada. The taxes are a little higher than the US, but it's with it because of the free health. In the US you can easily become a homeless if you get sick and need medical assistance. The US has a nice economy and nice infrastructure and all mentioned, except nicer people, free health system, safety and respect. After Canada I would say the US FOR second place.
Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. With an area of 7,617,930 square kilometres (2,941,300 sq mi), Australia is the largest country by area in Oceania and the world's sixth-largest country. Australia is the oldest, flattest, and driest inhabited continent, with the least fertile soils. It is a megadiverse country, and its size gives it a wide variety of landscapes and climates, with deserts in the centre, tropical rainforests in the north-east, and mountain ranges in the south-east. Australia is really nice country. Australia is a very high developed country characterized by a very high rank of Human Development Index. This country is also strong in financial, and really multicultural where you can meet people around the world. The citizens are friendly and you can enjoy a freedom life. Australia has it's best city in the world, Melbourne which ranked as the most liveable city in the world. Climate diversity makes Australia become more unique where you can enjoy the tropical climate at the north of the country, desert at the west, and subtropical climate at the southeast of Australia.
If I was a poor man then Australia is the best place to be poor in as it has a great safety net, not too cold and a lot of opportunity to get off the canvas. If I was a rich man then Australia is a great place to live: Good security, Good Weather, Good Beaches, Good Food and Good Business opportunities. Canada- Weather is lousy, US- No safety net, so it has low security, Europe - Too much Government interference and weather is lousy. New Zealand is similar to Australia to except the place has too many New Zealanders. Thailand is Up there with Good places to live if you had a few bucks. At the end of the day it is up to what you want : for me it is about : Good Air, Good Food, Good Water, Good Weather, Good scenery and the economic freedom and health to enjoy them.
Great country. Nice people. The socialist Labor/Green Government is trying to turn the country communist quick though. Country being over run by Islamic illegal aliens who refuse to assimilate. Open boarders no protection for this beautiful land. Don't get used to a high score in the future unless you change your government from the Labor communists back to the way it was when the conservatives were in power, you had a twenty two billion dollar surplus and you weren't paying two million dollars a day in interest payments to China to pay off one hundred seventy eight billion dollars deficit.
Ok 2 important points that distinguish Australia over the Northern European, and North American countries.
1) We have great social policies that include a generous healthcare and welfare system. This includes gun laws that have not destroyed our rights, but rather allowed all people to come and live in our country with almost no fear of being shot.
2) We have beautiful weather in our country that helps rank all if not most of our major cities in the 'top 20 most liveable cities' in the world, with Melbourne ranking consistently number 1. This is a contrast to the bitter cold and snow storms of the Northern European countries and Canada.
The United States of America, or the U.S.A. for short, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, 48 of them are contiguous states. There are two other states, Alaska and Hawaii, which are north and south of the contiguous states, respectively. The United States declared its independence from the British Empire in 1776 with the Declaration of Independence. They won their independence in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris.

The USA is one of the best countries in the world and anyone would be very lucky to live there! Just compare it to a bunch of other countries such as China or Afghanistan! Those much worse countries to live in! The USA has has clean water, a proper education system and a functional government, which countries such as Afghanistan or Pakistan don't have! Yes, yes I know what you guys are going to say, but the USA had Donald Trump! Well that was just one president and places such as Russia have a dictatorship! So everyone, just stop hating on the USA! This is just my opinion, so don't bully me!
That stereotype is so not true. Most people here are friendly and will help you if you need it. Other than the enormous amount of political correctness forced on us, we have the freedom to do just about anything as long as it's not abusively illegal. Everybody in the world takes great risks to come here---I live right on the Mexican border and thousands get through every day. We need jobs and a sane political system, neither Democrats nor Republicans. We need a president who puts American citizens' needs first before special interest groups or foreign nations. Regardless, I wouldn't live anywhere else.
People in this country are so spoiled they hate it. That just proves that this country is great. It is so great that people take in for granted that we live in such a great country. This country should honestly be ranked higher. People in this country actually have more freedom than people in Canada. The United States should be number one to be honest, and it is beautiful. The country has everything from towering mountains, to warm beaches, to cold, snowy tundras, to flat farmlands, to sandy deserts, to forests with 400 foot redwood trees. The U.S. also is very free. You can live your life how ever you would like here, without even being questioned by the government. Is the best country in the world.
Stunning architecture, marvellous food, caring people, structured government and rules and it's a very organised country. The United States of America is a spectacular country with diverse things all around it. The only problem is that the crime rate can scare people away from this country. But most counties, cities and neighborhoods are safe and have police trooping around them 24/7. And, this is the place where dreams come true. Although many people don't have jobs and the people who do gain little money, most celebrities started their career in the U.S.A. and the people here are really caring and helpful. If you're locked out of your house, you can call 911 and they can gladly help you open it. And if you're walking down the road, people just say "Hi! " to you out of respect. That is true kindness. This is the place where you can see various musical performances, millions of game shows and celebrities on tours in real-life. And this is the center of food, especially when it come to ...more
Sweden, officially the Kingdom of Sweden, is a Scandinavian country in Northern Europe.
It borders Norway to the west and Finland to the east, and is connected to Denmark in the southwest by a bridge-tunnel across the Öresund. At 450,295 square kilometers (173,860 sq mi), Sweden is the third-largest country in the European Union by area, with a total population of 10 million. Sweden is the best country to live. Canada is the worst with criminals from all over the world live here and prey on Canada. Canada has no strict rules for immigration and takes all druggist and criminals and grants them permission to live here. It is third class country. There is no place like Europe. Every country in Europe has class. It's clean. If anyone has a chance to live in Sweden go for it, you will never regret. It's a beautiful cultural country all Scandinavian countries. Wow for this beautiful country.
It's the best country I have lived in. I have lived in USA and was bad, I have been in Japan (better than USA) and I have been in England (better than USA). The swedes are very nice and helpful people. Everything is so nice there no problems there. It's like you are in heaven. They take care of children very hard. The food is so healthy there nothing is bad. For me like a half American and half British it is the best country in the world.
Easy country where nothing is complicated, and the friendliest people in Europe. Also Sweden is the country of quality, from their roads to their machines (Volvo, Husqvarna, Ericsson) and to their meet (one if the best and most organic meet in the world). The restaurants are of very high quality. You will most likely get better tapas in Stockholm then in Malaga, and better Pizza then Milano, and surely better service then anywhere.
I see a lot of swedes do great success in their business, A LOT OF THEM...and they do GREAT GREAT success. The country is strong, protected, happy, beautiful, and I think you'll feel pretty safe in Sweden. Not only the country is awesome, but the people too. The people are kind, sweet, good at heart, and really fun to go out with. They have such a great great personality. I'm not a swede but, boy! I really really wish I was. If you're a swede and u hate your home country, DON'T. Swedes are VERY lucky. Seriously.
England, previously the Kingdom of England, is a constituent country of the United Kingdom along with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.England can trace its history as far back as the 10th century, but modern England didn't start till the Norman Invasion of 1066.

Best country in the WORLD. I've been to all of them, in order of excellence; - England, Switzerland, USA, Canada, Australia.
England, and especially London, in UNBELIEVABLE in comparison. Best mix of famous people, rich people, millionaires, BILLIONAIRES, small businesses, large businesses, multinational businesses, cars, sports cars, art, history, culture, architecture, tech, people, industry, beaches, countryside (most beautiful countryside in the world by far), political scene, journalists (British papers like the Spectator etc are simply unmatched), sports (cricket, football, etc), proximity to interesting places in Europe, everything.
AND England has a Monarch! Bloody brilliant combo!
I am so proud of being a British citizen. England is an amazing country with amazing views and natural landmarks and natural beauty way better than the US. Houses are cheaper cars are cheaper etc etc. It's so annoying when people say US is better just cause it has bigger houses, I mean what that just makes housekeeping so much harder, schooling here is way better than the US, our football team and football clubs are so good. England is so centrally located on Earth so travelling is not that hard, at the end of the day England is an AMAZING country and AMAZING place to live.
England is the best country ever! I love it here, the air is really clean and there is no pollution and you might think London has hardly any trees but Hyde Park has thousands! Education is absolutely amazing, people have very good education's which really makes it better than other countries. There is democracy so people can vote and everybody is equal. It has amazing places with beautiful views like the White Cliffs of Dover and much more! If England was an hotel I would rate it 12 out of 5 stars!
I moved to the UK from the US and can not believe how fortunate I am. We have a compassionate view of life and a basic respect for a FairPlay in the spproach to life. A democratic approach that far surpasses America and willing to truly debate issues. We are aware of issue around the world and try to be responsible in our approach to progressive ideas. That doesn't even take in the exquisite landscape and diversity of landscapes and wildlife! The architecture is amazing and we protect our cultural past! I am extremely proud to be a British citizen and would never live anywhere else!
France, officially the French Republic, is a sovereign state comprising territory in western Europe and several overseas regions and territories. The European part of France, called metropolitan France, extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. France spans 675,000 km2 (251,000 mi2) and has a total population of 67 million (data from 2017). ...read more. Wonderful country, peaceful,.kind people, famous food, healthcare...
So various landscapes, there are some villages which look to be villages of medieval tales.
France is like a dream, we had the chance to go to Tahiti, Moorea, Bora-Bora and Marquesas Islands. Besides the fact that these places are simply marvelous, splendid, is so amazing to know that it is part of France.
Here you have among the most beautiful coral reefs (UNESCO) and gorgeous beaches in the world.
France is so different, has a so rich culture and history and so peaceful areas to live in, it is the bucolic country.
And if you need you BBQ, no problems, here you can eat everything you want because you will also find cuisine from lots of other countries.
It is No 2 for McDonalds in the world after USA.
It's true that French are not the best in spoken English, but they are not the worst compare to some countries around.
And most of people speak only their own ...more
I love France, Is World's Most Visited countries, top on Healthcare and It's not too struggling to do business there, Love Paris France is best of all around the world. But the problem is its economical structure which is not so good now a days, even if it's a strong democracy, maybe to much allocations to people are given for kids, habitation, unemployment, etc.. Let's see next elections. Hope Le Pen will not be elected, maybe I'd be obliged to leave and I don't want at all. I like everything here and I want my family grows up here.
As a native of France, I would like for you to know that living in France isn't the same as coming there for vacation. These days lot's of things happen in France, such as riots, unemployment, political crisis, high levels of vandalism, peoples always complaining and weirdos in the street. Of course it's not like that everywhere, but people that say it would be a dream to live here, you should first make sure that France is right for you.
Amazing country, simply beautiful, very open minded.
Don't listen to the stereotypes, all my encounters with French people were always really pleasant, I mean you'll have rednecks everywhere, France too, but I've never met any.
Just go there and take a breath and relax, it's just a cool country and has to be visited but not only Paris. Paris maybe is far to represent France, even French think that Parisian are a bit crazy.
Try Brittany, Atlantic coast, Provence, Jura, Alsace and so many fantastic regions.
Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a sovereign and unitary monarchy in Northern Europe whose territory comprises the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula plus the island Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard.
Oslo is the capital of Norway. Norwegian is the official language of Norway. Norway always ranks in the top ten best nations to live in and it is easy to see why. It has some of the highest incomes, low crime rates, an excellent healthcare system, a well-educated population, a humane prison system that successfully rehabilitates offenders and one of the lowest rates of income inequality imaginable. The only thing it lacks is an efficient intercity rail system but the Norwegian government is working on that.
All of these reasons are enough for Norway to be one of the best nations to live in on the planet.
Norway is one of the best countries to live in. It's one of the wealthiest, safest, and cleanest countries in the world. It's very safe as well; the crime rate is very low. Its prisons don't look like prisons at all they actually look like hotels, which shows that they truly care for its citizens. Its citizens are also really kind and are willing to help others. Overall, Norway is an amazing country to live in.
Norway has one of the highest life satisfactions. Meaning the people in Norway are living in the happiest Country on Earth. The crime rate is moderately low, the environment is clean. The environment is magical and the people are happy. And they have potatoes.
I've been to Norway several times, and it's the greatest country I know! People are so nice, the crime rate is low, but it has unusually high taxes, and everything is extremely expensive. I had to spend 25 bucks on a cup of normal black coffee. But it is a really awesome country!
Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, is a federal republic in Europe. It consists of 26 cantons, and the city of Bern is the seat of the federal authorities. ...read more. I live in Canada and it is becoming a police state. Freedoms of expiration, speech and the right to assemble have been taken from us and there is now a secrey police. Feeling very much like Germany 1933 with the Reichstag fire decree, it called bill C 51 and C-10. Switzerland the people get to vote for major issues through referendums and the people on the whole are much better educated and have a feeling of responsibility for the governing of their country.
Switzerland is the most freedom country in the world and the most competitive economy in the world. Beautiful nature, friendly people, very rich and clean environment. Switzerland is one of the safest countries in the world. It's a very liberal country as gun law, freedom of speech, direct democracy and economic freedom. Switzerland is the best place to live in the world.
It is absolutely amazing. Nothing wrong with it except the price of everything. It is really expensive. But other than that, the scenery, the opportunities for exercise, the skiing and snowboarding, the public transport, among others. Each village is completely different from the one down the road. The people are friendly. AMAZING.
Why, why, why isn't this number 1? It's the most beautiful, peaceful & diverse country. People are nice here. They don't hesitate to help if you're lost. The Swiss Alps are really beautiful & the Swiss have amazing colleges & art! It also has not been in any war for 200 years, even though in WWII, its surrounding countries were at war. It's also one of the richest & happiest countries in the world!
Iceland is a Nordic island country in the North Atlantic Ocean and the most sparsely populated country in Europe. Iceland's capital and largest city is Reykjavík, which (along with its surrounding areas) is home to over 65% of the population. Iceland is the only part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that rises above sea level, and its central volcanic plateau is erupting almost constantly. The interior consists of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains, and glaciers, and many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate, despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle. Its high latitude and marine influence ...read more. I cannot believe this! Did you know Iceland ranked #9 on the Human development index? Denmark made #2, Sweden made #5, Canada made #4, and Norway made #1! Do your research before making a list please. Thanks.
Iceland should be number 1 Luke really! Iceland is such a beautiful country with very very kind people clean healthy no crime so it's the best country to live in I needs to be number 1 on the list
This is one of very attractive nation which has a very good set of houses and very clean even I have not been there yet.
Iceland is really safe and has a good government, the landscape is beautiful, etc.
New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.
It is situated 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland. Ne w Zealand is a country that until recently was very much overlooked. Now people have started to extend their horizons a bit more and have discover our little gem at the bottom of the world. It is the kind of place you retire and settle down in as it is safe, beautiful and full of kind and hospitable people and healthy to live in too, however personally I have found that it is not the kind of place to spend your teen years and early adulthood as it is not exactly party central. However to live in from your 30s onward it's absolutely perfect. My kind of paradise, I love the land of the long white cloud and can assure you that yes it certainly lives up to it's expectations perhaps it even precedes them.
I have thought about this a lot, and I concluded New Zealand is the best country to live in. It has one of the freest economies and presses in the world (unlike my home, the USA), It is neutral (unlike Canada and Iceland), would have the least amount of damage from a nuclear war (unlike Sweden and Switzerland which would suffer collateral damage from nuked countries like Norway and France). The country is beautiful (look up Milford Sound), wealthy and just overall probably the best place to live in the world.
Stunning, perfect, beautiful place, New Zealand has everything from peace and tranquility to snowcapped mountain peaks, ancient exotic flora and forna, wild and wonderful, golden calm beaches, brilliant star gazing, awesome towns/cities/untouched national parks, friendly caring people, unique culture and history, stunning food and wines and the coolest little capital in the world. There is something for everyone there. Way better that Australia and number 1 in the world for me!
Nz is obviously placed No'8 in the world cause it shows that this country ain't all that. Who ever said that Nz has a low crime rate you need to run your head into the wall and wake up. I can't stand this country people are very arrogant rude and are very hard to communicate with cause they have a tendency to always think they're right when they know they're wrong and don't like being told the truth. Nz makes it hard to get a job especially if your not from there country and is one expensive country to live in which makes it so hard for those to live and get by each day is seriously pathetic. There culture is nothing like any I have ever seen,
Germany was formally united in 1871 under the initiative of Bismarck with King Wilhelm of Prussia as emperor. The previous 'Holy Roman Empire', basically a continuation of the empire of Charlemagne/Karl der Grosse was dissolved in 1806.Some territory was lost after World War 1 and a lot more after World War 2, basically started by Hitler's Nazi dictatorship. Then the Soviets kept their zone - the 'DDR', East Germany, separate with a wall through the middle of Berlin, until 1990 when the country was reunited. ...read more.
Germany has a strong economy, gorgeous landscapes, the best food in the world, and it is the safest place to be. The people who reside there have many virtues and kind spirits. We help our fellow European nations economies and give jobs to the Greeks who are moving in. We forgive other nations and pay our debts quickly and efficiently. And almost nothing wrong happens politically. We always have a caring and helpful chancellor. We are not greedy and we will help someone who needs it. We welcome people of all races into our borders and we warmly invite them into our cities.
Why is this country ranked so low? Germany has a great infrastructure, a good educational System (universities are free here! ), one of the best healthcare and social system in the world AND it's not that expensive. Unlike countries like the US, where you need to pay for your health, where the educational system is so low and where you have to work too much because you have no right to get a paid holiday.
I had never been here or any other country but as a Canadian I say Germany is better than our southern neighbour USA. Germans Are not jealous of anyone is what I heard. I know this because of research on the internet and other people say that Americans are way too jealous of other countries. I would love to visit Germany someday. Canada and Germany are better.
I feel safe, the people are honest, humble and reliable, you have all the possibilites here, even when your poor you can attend university and get a good education, people are generally smart and informed, you have work security, at least 28 days of vacation a year, lots of insurances, good infrastructure, high developed, multicultural. But to live good you need a bit of dicipline and to be reliable at work, but that's normal.
Denmark is a Nordic country in Northern Europe. It is the most populous and politically central constituent of the Kingdom of Denmark, a constitutionally unitary state that includes the autonomous territories of the Faroe Islands and Greenland in the North Atlantic Ocean. European Denmark is the southernmost of the Scandinavian countries, lying southwest of Sweden, south of Norway, and north of Germany. ...read more. Somehow here in Denmark, you will earn more money compare to other countries that will raise up your purchasing power and quality of life. Although you pay high taxes but wages are well paid. Moreover, tax money contribute significance role in the social value as well. Here, everything is more organized and centralized. In a word, you will be happy here.
Denmark is the best country because, people have such a friendly sentimentality. The taxes are high due to free health care and free education, and we have the right to get something called SU, its what students get to live by when they take an education
There is just something terribly wrong with this list when high quality countries like Iceland, Finland, Denmark, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands etc. are ranked below The United States of America.
Just an amazing place to be. Peoples understanding and respect to each other is just fantastic. The live quality is just top. And a fantastic tax system as well that takes care of everybody.
Finland, officially the Republic of Finland, is a Nordic country in Northern Europe. It shares land borders with Sweden to the northwest, Norway to the north, and Russia to the east, with the Gulf of Bothnia to the west and the Gulf of Finland across Estonia to the south. Finland covers an area of 338,455 square kilometres (130,678 sq mi) with a population of 5.5 million. Helsinki is the capital and largest city, forming a larger metropolitan area with the neighbouring cities of Espoo, Kauniainen, and Vantaa. The vast majority of the population are ethnic Finns; Finnish, alongside Swedish, are the official languages. Finland's climate varies from humid continental in the south to the boreal ...read more. Oh there are many reason. Best country to live for pregnant moms, families and kids. Finland has a free health care and if you need treatment, you will get it. What about education? Oh free as well. And one of the best education systems out there. We have good gun control laws. There is no corruption. Government is chosen by people and they make decisions which will be for the best. Liberal country, for example equal marriage is now possible in Finland. Finland is more than safe country to live. There are so many other reasons too why Finland is the best country to live. The nature with lakes and forests is absolutely stunning.
I love Finland. Now this is maybe because I am Finnish, but living in Finland had the best moments of my life. Some reasons I loved living there was that it was really green. Even if you lived in the middle of the capital, Helsinki, you wouldn't have to walk far to see the beautiful greenery. And also education and health care is free, that's also really good. And talking about education, it has the best education system. Now I lived in Finland only until grade 3 but the exams were only at the end of the year, and there was 1 exam. You rarely got bullied, because there were supportive and nice teachers, and usually people had a lot of friends, even that one Indian kid who spoke very little Finnish had like 20 friends. And also the city life was amazing. You could walk in town and feel like you would be at home everywhere you go. I don't know why but I just felt like this was where I should live forever walking trough the familiar streets of Helsinki. Also winters, YES THE COLD! I just ...more
The school system is one of the best in world. Finnish students take little to no standardized tests and have no homework, it's about collaboration; that's something you'll use in life. Also, 'no homework and very little test' they must be stupid right? Wrong, more people in Finland actually graduate from high school AND collage than in the U.S.A, and this is only part of it.
Education system, health care, work opportunities, kind and tolerant people, stable economy, safe place to be, social security, social benefits on need, freedom of speech, almost zero crime, lovely summer, quite and white winter, excellent local transportaion, lakes, woods, harbours, lovely cruise trips, healthy food, absolutely enjoing living here.
Spain, or the Kingdom of Spain, is a country in southwestern Europe with parts of territory in the Atlantic Ocean and across the Mediterranean Sea. The largest part of Spain is situated on the Iberian Peninsula; its territory also includes the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla, and several minor overseas territories also scattered along the Moroccan coast of the Alboran Sea. The country's mainland is bordered to the south by Gibraltar; to the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea; to the north by France, Andorra and the Bay of Biscay; and to the west by Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean. Spain offers a history that includes the Roman Empire, the development of the Catholic church, possessions greater than any other country in the world including most of Central and South America, large parts of the United States, and numerous island countries throughout the Caribbean and Pacific Oceans.
It's people are super, super-friendly. You can make a friend at a bar and within an hour you will have a friend for life. Really! That stranger will open his or her home to you in the future and pick up where you left off in the relationship as if you had just met.
Madrid is like NO OTHER city in the world. Where else is it normal to eat dinner at 10pm while the sun is still setting, hop from tapa to tapa bar, stay in the streets until 4am, go to work for half of the day, then go home and eat a large lunch, take a nap, go back to work, and then do it all over again?
According to the W.H.O Spain has one of best healthcare systems in the world. Is a country with great food and a varied healthy diet (more Michelin Star restaurants than anywhere else in the world! ).People enjoys a long life expectancy.
Spain is very monumental and has and great an long history. The people is friendly and the if you stay away from the touristic spots it is a very affordable country to live in.
The economy is currently growing at a faster pace than most places in Europe but is still recovering from the aftermath of the economic recession of 2008. Infrastructure is very good but in the down side it can be challenging to find a good stable job.
Few risk, nice public health, exceptional education, mediterranean climate, second best average life, nice food, international lenguage, lot of history, and there are always at least 8 hours of night to sleep during the night, and at least 8 hours of sun to have normal life during the day, not as Canada, Nordic European countries or New Zealand. There is few contamination, not as middle European countries such as France, Netherlands or Germany. And few criminality, not as USA.
The best from Spain is that you get to chose your style of life. There are like "two Spains": the north and the south. Probably the South is what everybody knows from this country: paella, flamenco and toros. But if you really don't like that lifestyle you can still try with the north: northeast is more economicly developed (ex. Barcelona) while northwest is more calm and homelike (ex. Camiño de Santiago). Also, their climates are different. North is a bit rainy, specially in Galicia, but it also has the most beautiful beaches (ex. Praia das catedrais) of all Spain. South has a really confortable climate and really nice people and atmosphere.

Well, let me fix that. 14th? No no it should be 5 or if possible, 3! I belive Scandanavia and New Zealand is still better but 5th for Japan can be possible. This is because I did mention something that might be a large amount. But it is not. Scandanavia has 5 (or 4 Sorry if had mistaken) and with the addition of New zealand, but I wait? I take that back. Scandanavia is close to strong countries like Russia, France, and Germany. Also, it is possible Scandanavia can get invaded. Also, Low Level of corruption. Yeah, you heard it right. Also, the Homicide rate is low. Even if the Suicide Rate is one of the highest, but as long as you have no depression, its not really a problem. Also, you can live pretty comfortably for a long time with low crime rate. Japan is one of the most secure countries with high technology, as well as a life expectancy of around 80! Compare that to USA's 69 or 70! (Sorry if I offended someone I did not mean that) Anyway, that is all I gotta say for now.
I was there about 20 yrs ago and I still remember vividly how great the Japanese. I can not forget all the beautiful places and the outstanding hospitality of this country. I highly recommend to each traveler to at least count in to visit Japan so they can experience the honesty and purity of the culture. The best way to educate kids the importance of family and descipline will go further on each individuals morals and lige being. I plan to go back and visit Japan before it is too late for me to travel, the number one country of Asia.
I hadn't thought Japan as a good country to live before I studied abroad and had a chance to see Japan from outside. As one of Japanese people, I really appreciate their kind consideration, which I have experienced only with Japanese people. I'm not saying people from other countries are not very thoughtful. They are kind and nice as well in their own way. I like other countries and want to live abroad again in the future. But, I feel the most comfortable when I am in Japan.
When I knew Japan I hated it very much as it fought with Singapore, a few hundred years ago, which, is my homeland and where I live in. I only started to like Japan after developing a liking for their anime. I did some research and also found out that the people in Japan are also pretty polite. So I actually liked japan more from then on. It also has many nice things there so I gladly recommend you to go there, maybe Tokyo.
Formed in 1916 after the Easter uprising, Ireland is a small country with a population of roughly 5 million. I live in Ireland, and can safely say its one of the best places to live, and I've travelled a lot! There's good culture, the people are friendly, has always been a neutral country, very peaceful and no enemies! Great standards of education, from indants to university, beautiful scenery, good climate, although rains a bit more than perhaps desired, land is very fertile and there is no shortage of sun eithear! Not to mention that there are great facilities all over the country, and it is our own country abd always has been we didn't steal it of natives, we are the natives! Great overall standard of living.
I live in Ireland and can honestly say it is a very comfortable place to live in. We don't have the biggest population and that is one of the factors of why it is so low on this list. There are breathtaking places to visit and people are very friendly. The education is good. The weather varies from good to bad, often one day you'll be sitting in the sun and the next watch the rain bucket down. We're neutral and have friendly associations with most countries.
I've lived in Ireland all my life and I'd never trade it for anywhere else, but I don't really see what everyone seems so attracted to us & the country by. It's a beautiful place if you want natural scenery but the weather is all over the place. The people are sweet mostly, but the more outgoing ones ignore the feck out of you.
Northern Ireland I visited and I learned about the history about the conflict. I found that around Antrim and Armagh were the best places for scenery all over Ireland. I found the people from the unionist community to be a lot more welcoming than the republican people who seen me as lesser than them. Would recommend a visit to the giant causeway great view
The Netherlands, informally Holland, is a country located in north-western Europe with overseas territories in the Caribbean. It is the largest of four constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The country's official language is Dutch, with West Frisian as a secondary official language in the province of Friesland. Dutch Low Saxon and Limburgish are recognised regional languages, while Dutch Sign Language, Sinte Romani, and Yiddish are recognised ...read more. The Netherlands is one of the best countries, if not the best country for taking care of handicapped. I myself are on the border of being handicaped. I have a few pretty small ones, but still ones that make studying and working very difficult, because of the pressure that comes with it. even tough I perfectly understand and know what to do, the pressure just causes me to make many small mistakes. although not very big ones, their still on the border of important. but still in the Netherlands I got a special payment, because the cause are handicaps.
First, it's not 'Holland' but the Netherlands. But ok, Holland is a really nice country and I'm living there. You got nice summer and in the winter there is snow. In our country we get Dutch foods like pancakes but also Turkish, Indonesian and others. There's a lot of choice. People are kind to you. The nature is beautiful and we get also 5 island and some in the Carabian. Our culture is rich and you can do a lot here. Our country is really safe. If there's one country you should visite, choose for the Netherlands!
It is so much better than the US, with cheap or free education, immaculate health service, freedom of choice, no judgements, clean streets, friendly environments, high employment rate, 5 times lower homicide rate than the US and weed is legal, meaning that the illegal activity is much lower than many other countries. Choose the Netherlands instead of the US
I am not a Dutch but a frequent traveler. First time when I visited Netherlands, I felt like a fairy land. I love orange colour and it was a 31st April and every one was on the street. Friendly, understanding and nature loving people. USA is a good place for corporate but I think heartless people and too much occupied with their work (talking about NY).
Brazil, officially the Federative Republic of Brazil, is the largest country in both South America and Latin America.

I like every country of South America! One of my favourite regions of South America is Brazil. I love Brazil.I love Rio de Janeiro. I love what good things Brazil has. Even if you do not watched it Brazil and the whole South America is unique as it is it doesn't have to be New York. A country has to be unique. It doesn't needs too much just like happiness needs few not too much. I really love South America!
Great country, incredibly beautiful, friendly and hot people, great weather, with a high development rate. Despite the crime in the big cities ( it's usually really calm,quiet and safe outside the big cities), great landscapes, some areas and cities got a higher development rate than USA,Canada, most Europe and NZ, Brazil got Curitiba, a very green and one of the cleanest cities in the world, with a high quality of life. I can say for sure that brazilians could be anywhere, but they'd never enjoy a country like they enjoy theirs, you can't even get bored in Brazil...
I live in Brazil but travel abroad mostly to Europe and other South America countries.
I can for sure say that our food is the best in the world, a mix of italian, german, portuguese, african, native americans foods that makes it simply perfect.
We have great nature, rainforests, rivers, amazing beaches and a very nice climate. We have no international issues or war.
Only problems are government corruption, cost of living rising and violence in the big cities, in the smaller ones you can have a very high standard of living, mostly in south Brazil, considered a mini Europa like region in terms of climate (colder) and quality of life, I recommend the smaller citie in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina states, low crimes, high quality of life and great landscapes!
Awesome country. Perfect climate. Good people. Food is cheap and delicious. Some issues in its organization, but it's getting better.
Hatters gonna hate, but there's no better place to build a carrer, make friends, stay healthy and happy.

Greece is amazing in all aspects... bad economy at the moment but it will change, if all of us Greeks came back home and improve the country and get rid of illegals that cross the sea borders, and rob and destroy our cities and islands and we take over our country and be proud of it like Melina Mercouri done, I am sure things would change... We would not need to ask for money from Germans or EU. We could all live happily just by tourism and agriculture, export... something to think about! Great place!
Greece:So great country. Is the country with THE history, with THE greatest islands and with friendly people. Also greek people have the biggest history of all other. They started the Olymics with the fire and also they found the culture. (for countries who hate Greece)---> Our country(Greece) found the culture & when your ancestors didn't know anything Greece found all that you have now!
Bad economy but wonderful people, beautiful nature, amazing islands, excellent weather. There is funny and good-humored mood all the time. It's a country where it's very impossible to feel depressed or bored. Number one country if you want to have fun...
The economy has changed now. The people now are happy and the wages have been better than 2012. The economic situation in Greece has changed and now Greece is a wonderful country, with wonderful people with beautiful islands with developed economy!

Italy is a great country with a lot of history on its shoulders. Many says it has the best food in the world; even though that is very subjective, Italian food summarizes the Italian culture: classy, creative and with a lot of love. Italians really love their food and life style. In fact, the most fascinating thing is how Italians are able to seize the day and get the best of their life. The sense of family, the appreciation for good food, history, art, music, fashion and wine, these are all ingredients that Italians use to conduct, in my view, what I think is one of the best life style on earth. It is great to admire how they express their culture on what they do, from the elegance of an Armani suit to the great manufacture of a Ferrari.
There is no question about the Italian culture, people and ingenuity... After all what other nationality had contributed to the USA as much as the Italians. Italians with their work ethics and family values cannot be denied... A very clever race of people. As for the comments about Italians being racists about black people, when I'm in Italy I do see Italian men with black women... and although I do not see very many black men with Italian women, that's not to say that their racists, Italian women at large prefer Italian men... And that's that! Ciao
It is said that the Italians are arrogant, pretentious, that for example, they do not want to speak English because they only like French language and believe that's the best language in the world and that they are the best. Another founded opinion is circulating that they are cold with foreigners, they are not welcoming. You can make your own opinion by going there, but it will be worst, better choosing another place to go, there are so many.
I am Nigerian and has to say that Italian people are pure racist.
They treat me as a slave, as nothing, in the best case they talk to me like as a kid.
I do speak myself 4 languages, I am surely better than most of them, but they will never accept than a black guy can be better than them, a big shame.
The only job we can get as migrants, even after years, is selling bags, glasses etc.. In front of supermarkets.
But we will stay here, because we have to be more and more numerous to reverse the current situation.
It should be number 1 of the worst country.
Austria was Celtic (Hallstadt) then as Noricum, part of the Roman Empire, Alaric, who took over Rome, studied at a monastery near Vienna. In the Middle Ages, the Holy Roman Emperors moved to Vienna, then Austria became separate. Medieval documents from Eastern Europe as far as West Ukraine were often in German, and referred to Vienna, showing its influence well before the Austrian Empire. After the first World War, Austria became a small country, under 10 million population, but including the world's then 4th largest city. 'A big head on a small body' they said. In 1938 Hitler invaded his home country and imposed Naziism. Vienna was then the World's largest Jewish centre, many famous people, ...read more. Simply stunning. Travelled all over Europe and Austria is the most beautiful country I've seen and experienced. Cities are clean friendly, happy and gorgeous. People appreciate and value their living space. Great environment for families. Rural areas of Austria like Tirol and Pinzgau are incredible. Breathtaking scenery. Awesome skiing and even better in summer. Austria is better known for wonderful skiing in Winter but Summer is also a great time of the year to experience other mountain sports. If you like cities, Austria is perfect and if you prefer the countryside, look nowhere else! Overall: 9.8/10
Austria is a fantastic country with great nature and people. The living standard and safety is of the same high level as in Germany, but the people are partially more chilled and down to earth. It's a great for doing every outdoor activity you can imagine, and most of the cities have a beautiful historical old town.
Austria has the best living full city in the world Vienna. The best coffe and sachertorte in the world. If you don't won't do life in the best living full city you can change do the Mountains is a good difference because no country has so beautiful Mountains. Why did over 100.000.000 people come to Austria. Also Austria has no war and only 5% living below the poverty line. 4,2% are unemployed. 50% are upper class.
Vienna is an awesome place to live/visit, Salzburg is also breathtaking and Austrians eat their Burgers with a fork & Knife because of how High class they are, Never seen a Homeless man or any obvious Poverty it should've been next to Germany in the list.

You can live the best of both worlds as the capital, Lisbon offers a urban city lifestyle whist further up north you can enjoy the villages and countryside. Best air quality, best food, best prices, best people and best weather. Amazing sights and is picturesque. Portugal offers a lot of beaches such as the Algarves. Surfing world championships are held there due to the amazing beaches and great waves. Hearty, home-cooked food everywhere you turn. Lisbon the capital is one of the oldest cities in the world however, still maintains it urban charm. Such beautiful summers and magical winters. What could get better than that?
Top ten country to live in my opinion. One of the most sunny countries in Europe, wonderful beaches and mountains with beautiful rivers and waterfalls.
People are very nice and the food is marvelous.
Some great monuments and buildings to visit too mainly in the two major cities, Lisbon and Porto. This country is a must.
Portugal should be in Brazil's place or even better! Brazil has a high rate of crime, bad government, crysis, etc...
In Portugal people are very friendly, a very good education, although our government "Fell" some years ago, it's getting much better now and I assure you that you won't regret living in Portugal.
Portugal just won the best place to visit in the world.
Telecommunications are great.
Things are cheaper than most places in the rest of Europe (Germany, Sweden, France, etc...)
Why is Portugal number 140? It's certainly better than Brazil! Brazil is a poor awful country with a high crime rate, Portugal is an awesome country, it has an amazing nation, fantastic food and weather and the people there are friendly and nice!

They're cuisine is something special, they're shopping malls are high class, they're form of Martial Arts is really safe, and you don't have to worry about Japanese karate. They;re arcades are really special, and they're hotels are a 5 star places to stay in. South Korea is also home to the worlds largest Christian Church.
It's very convenient to live there: 24-hour marts, shopping malls, food, etc. They deliver anything to you or even pick up for you. High tech transportation and buildings great environment! Public transportation is super clean and cheap - you will find food ANYWHERE.
Awesome place to live in. Their products are very cheap and good quality. Also the food is delicious. The malls are large and they have so much cool stuff, etc... There are so much reasons, that I can't list them all.
Korea is one of the best countries in the world, Jeju island, Seoul, Busan is places we have to go when we visit Korea. Shopping food transportation. Korea is very developed by these stuff, so Korea is the best country to live.

Damn! What the hell is this? This should be the best Southeast Asian Country to live in! Singapore deserves to beat all the other SEA countries when it comes to best countries to live in. I don't agree that Singapore lands only on the 31st place. This should be in Top 27. The higher, the better, the safer country to live in. So please do root for SG! SEA's #1 best country to live in!
I feel that this list is not accurate. The larger the population in one country, the more people will be able to vote for their country. The best way to find out where to live in is to go to a country an experience it yourself, or ask the locals in the area. One more thing, Singapore Is one of the best Asian countries to live in
Singapore is a very beautiful place! Everybody in the world should deserve to visit Singapore at least once.
Singapore is also know for its best airport in the world. Singapore is also clean and have different cuisines of food! When you come to Singapore you must try the famous chicken rice!
The United Arab Emirates, or simply the Emirates, is a country in Western Asia (The Middle East). It is located at the eastern end of the Arabian Peninsula and shares borders with Oman and Saudi Arabia, while having maritime borders in the Persian Gulf with Qatar and Iran. Abu Dhabi is the nation's capital, while Dubai, the most populous city, is an international hub. Great Country to live in with a peaceful environment and many entertaining things to do all over. Economically one of the best places to live in and easily work your way up to your goals especially when there is little to no tax at all.
United Arab Emirates is the best country ever because it's very safe and the skyscrapers in Dubai amazing like the Burj Khalifa! People are not bossy. And there are loads of shops. There are a variety of houses, hotels and apartments!
I visited Abu Dhabi for 2 weeks and didn't want to leave! I was really shocked to see such a crime free Country! I am from the US, and you don't see women pushing baby-strollers at 2:00 AM.
Beautiful city, friendly people, everyone spoke English.
Transportation is expensive, but it has many beautiful places like miracle and butterfly garden. Diverse community. You won't feel like you're a foreigner there.
