I much prefer to live in the UK. It's all well and good having the best hospitals, but when you have 50 million people who can't use them... well, that's just plain disgusting.

Japan has better technology (if you're talking about consumer good).

Europe's standard of living is higher.

Standard of Living is a bogus statistic.  It is skewed by too many factors.  One of which being the division of money.  A larger country where money is spread out less evenly but everyone has more stuff can often rank lower then a smaller socialist country where people have less stuff.  (or wealth as it were.)
