Yes, but given 5-10 years it may change. America didn't inherit anything for it's quality of living - it was built and established here, without being ratified when we had 300,000,000 people. That can vastly effect rule, making things much more difficult. If Europe has a consititution, and is bound as tightly together as the United States is, and has the same quality of living after 20 years, I'll be very impressed that they did it. Otherwise, it's hard to compare (and by the way: What about the Eastern European countries? They're European too).
Look at countries with populations that are above 150,000,000 people:
- China
- India
- United States
- Indonesia
- Brazil
- Pakistan
Do you see the odd man out on the list? There is only one other country in the top-10 that has a good quality of living, which would be Japan.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
