If everything about what's going with Kim Jong-un is true, then he's an idiot! I am currently an orange belt in Tae Kwon Do, and being someone who knows a bit about Korean honor, I know that Jong-un flat-out disrespecting the code.

Why is Texas higher than North Korea? In North Korea the people are starving, living under a dictator, and lots of North Koreans are in the worst prison camps in the world! Texas is a good place it is in America. Nothing is bad about Texas.

Economy is bad, hatred for americans and south korea, starvation, executions and torturing, and lots more all because kim jung un wants to stay in full power...id rather die than live there

Iraq is higher THAN Syria? there are people fleeing from the country and dying while doing it..every day. Iraq it really is only danger where isis is.

Are you seriously kidding me? this should be #1. drone strikes, the civil war, the children dying, and apparently nobody caring about it

Someone explain to me why India and the USA is higher than this country?

THIS COUNTRY IS NOT A COUNTRY. THIS IS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE THAT SMELL REALLY BAD I MEAN REALLY BAD COME TOGETHER AND STINK UP THE WORLD. THE SMELL IS SO BAD THAT PEOPLE MOVED EAST INTO BANGLADESH AND WEST INTO PAKISTAN. WHEN THE SMELL BECOME VERY STRONG THEY CALLED FOR INDEPENDENCE IN KASHMIR. WHILE THE PEOPLES DO NOT SHOWER AND REFUSE TO LET THE COW GO, THE SMELL CONTINUES, IT IS NOW SPREADING IN THE WORLD. THE WORLD MUST SEND SOAPS, AND PERFUME, PLEASE SHOWER, PLEASE. THE SHOWER AND WATER IS GOOD FOR YOUR BODY. HAVE BURGER, EAT A COW, SMELL A GOOD.

Whoever put India on this list doesn't know the likes of Pakistan, Iraq, Bangladesh... India may not the best place to live but it certainly is not a worst place. It's the fastest developing country and economy.

India is the most beautiful place too live. The people there are very intelligent andd the have an amazing history. So if you guys don't like it I do and I always will. Please don't say bad things about India to the ones who love India

4 Iraq

Your kidding me, you idiots would actually rather live in the war filled nations of Iraq or Pakistan which are filled with extreme terroristic groups, are extremely unstable, and have an average life expectancy of about 40. Anyone who would pick that is an idiot. The USA is the best country to live in by far. I was born in the UK and have lived in 8 different countries in my life. The USA is definitely the best. If you think differently then you probably haven't even been to the US.

This is why I like America. We don't have any war zones out here except for small street wars. Iraq has war zones 24/7 in ISIS areas

I can't say I know any of my votes are out of experience (except Texas), but if it's in the Middle East, no thank you.

How is it rated higher than Afghanistan?

5 Pakistan Pakistan was established in 1947 and is located in South Asia. Islamabad is the capital city of Pakistan. Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar are other major cities of Pakistan. Urdu and English are official languages of Pakistan. World's second highest peak (K-2) and ninth highest peak (Nanga Parbat) are located in Pakistan.

Pakistan is the place where everyone can live! In this country every person is living whether he/she belongs to any religion! Guys the technology we have in our house is T.V. that what is going on in the world! The whole world is trying to pish bac and finish pak the terrorist involved in in the bombings used to have tatoos on there bodies and Muslim cannot have any tattoo on there body because it is totally haraaam!

Why India is so higher than Pakistan who create this list. This list is completely nonsense. Pakistan has lots of terrorism no freedom for women and including men. Without any particular reason Pakistan's terrorist attacked and killed inocent people.

Pakistan is the worst country ever. There government is corrupt its people are uneducated and they always see dreams of taking over India. They poor and needy families and children are not safe from terrorissam

Pakistan should not exist on this list. It is an AMAZING place to live.

It is extremely rude to say something bad about any place! Imagine how sad some people would be if everybody hated your country? People in America may not have the hardest tests in school, but they are still smart! Smart enough to say good things about other countries! You should be ashamed of yourself of making this list! People can get seriously hurt because of this! Now stop insulting America and think about how well your country's going. Go ahead. Try. I dare you.

"This country has the highest living standards on EARTH! " No, it has some of the worst out of developed nations. One of every four people live under the poverty line. 70% of the population is overweight. School shootings happen about every six days, and at least one person usually dies. If Donald a Trump wins, the country will be very dangerous to live in. Best of luck to my neighbors.

Mass shootings, acts of terrorism, overall very high criminal rate,... Also, poor education system. I don't think I would feel safe living in USA considering everything happening not only the past few months but for the last 10 years.

Excuse me, but the USA has the highest living standards in the world. So what if some people are fat? You are probably at the brink of death in your country AKA world war 3.

It's Russia, what more could be said. Evil murderous government trickles down to evil people, especially to any who help them or people they take from which today is Ukraine and America, which they hate the worst of all. They attack, steal and then deride their victims to get away with it. Kleptocracy, it's much worse sociopathy, narcissism and psychopathy. Were they pushed and deceived and had coups to be made that way, well then a good reason not to because the people of the world are paying the price.

Motherland isint a fun place to be if your into democracy or freedom

Why hurt his brother by full scale invasion?

The pollution is so bad there its like smoking 6 packs of cigarettes a day. The pollution is so bad that people get cancer from it and it raises the pollution level on the west coast of the United States.

Why do so many people live here if it's as crappy as they say it is?

14 Mexico Mexico, officially the United Mexican States, is a federal republic located in North America. The country is located between the U.S. and Central America, and is known for its Pacific and Gulf of Mexico beaches and its diverse landscape of mountains, deserts, and jungles.

A total crap hole. It is a decent place to live if you are a rat or mangy dog but if you are human it is disgusting.

I've actually taken a trip to Mexico with my cousins one time. It's definitely not a place you want to live in.

It is just embarrassing that the great state of Texas used to be part of this nation.

However this is below Texas angers me.

15 Tornado Alley

Personally, I am deathly afraid of tornadoes. If I had to live in a place like that, I would take my parents car keys and drive all the way to Cali.

I would kill to live in Oklahoma, I am a huge weather enthusiast. I live right outside Tornado Alley and get a lot of storms, but I have yet to see a tornado.

This is my eighth year living in Kansas, and I have never experienced a tornado. Not once

Tornado is interesting! I would love to go there some day, being a weather enthusiast too!

JUST TOO MUCH RACISM! I've lived here for the past 12 years and overall, it may seem like a nice little country but, its really isn't. People will look down at you if you are a foreigner and they don't seem to like people of darker skin as much. I don't have dark skin at all and people still seem to see something bad in me. I get it that they prefer pale skin but, I feel really bad for the others that have to deal with this. Besides racism, there are many other disadvantages that South Korea can has.

Racist land, and always think better than japan but actually...

Just way to racist

23 Venezuela Venezuela, officially the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, is a federal republic located on the northern coast of South America.

A crappy country with a benevolent dictator.

24 Israel/Palestine

Israel is the worst country. In the world for what they have done to Palestine. It has nothing to do with the Jewish people and is just genocide on Palestinians.

Jews thinks the are the chosen people,thus racist against non Jews

What a terrible place to live in.

I garuntee that you won't survive there.

25 Ukraine

The leaders here are so corrupt. My cousin had to pay half of her monthly salary just to enter the hospital for her leukemia, and had to pay double price for medication that is supposed to be "free". You get shot here if you protest about the government. I hope my country becomes better one day, but now it is not the best.

Ukraine is a great country with friendly people and beautiful nature.

A kid in my class lived there must be terrible.
