Though I wasn't born here I guess it's not so bad living in Australia. Am surprised it's ranked number 2 though.

What's wrong with Canada? I've never paid much attention to your internal politics, aside from the current dispute between the aboriginal peoples and Harper.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Harper is slowly building a nanny-police state that would serve me with several years in prison for my petty drug habit. I notice police checkpoints everywhere nowadays and for what purpose? Our legal system is growing increasingly corrupt and despite claims made by the Harper regime, nothing is being done to address serious crimes such as pedophilia. Additionally, gun control is still too strict and Harper has done little to correct that issue. The employment situation really hasn't improved the way it should have and the cost of living has skyrocketed where I am. We went from our largest surplus ever to the largest deficit meaning that our future isn't looking so bright anymore. Canada blows now which is a shame, it was such a lovely place to live ten years ago :(

Serbia was part of Socialist Yugoslavia just like my country Croatia until the Yugoslav Wars started in 1991. Then it was called something else and then again something else. Today it's just Serbia, a country upon itself. We got that history thankfully behind us now, so why live in the past? |
After the socialist breakup, the country was called Federal Republic Yugoslavia (leaving out the socialist part) and after that it was called Serbia & Montenegro. Then when Montenegro seceded, Serbia was the only successor left from Yugoslavia

Especially if you're born a woman you're fucked. They can't even drive, travel without a "guardian" man or marry whoever the hell they want. Eveything is separated by sexes, even the workplace. If you're not rich you'll probably end up marrying a cousin. It's actually closer to one of the worst countries to be born in in my book. But I guess that as long as there is money, everything is fine and dandy. |
But im not a woman and neither are you. So living there wouldn't be much of a problem for us.

How's the winter up there at #9? It's pretty nice here at a measly .43 points lower. It's probably not all that much different for you anyway since 99% of your population lives as close to NA #17 as they possibly can and shop across the board to avoid the GST. I guess the great white north isn't too bad if you stay in to watch some Hollywood movies and enjoy some delicious McDonalds. Yep, that .43 difference makes all the differences and makes that whole GST, PST, and HST totally worth it. You might be interested to know that the UN Human Development Index rates the US at #4 and Canada at #8 and that while the US makes public it's poverty rate Canada keeps theirs under wraps. Not that any of it really matters since we are talking about such a tiny difference. Personally I'm a big fan of both countries and its people. Nearly the whole Top 20 on this list are really great free nations. But if I had to move away from my beloved homeland I think I'd probably go with #2 over #9.

Watch the way you speak to your superiors #16.
Maybe a complete lack of a sense of humour is hurting your score? Ignorance and arrogance combined is very ugly. I guess the tax system can be a bit confusing though, but you at least know the names, so I can't fault your misknowledge too much.
Funny list, some places seem strange.
I was born and have lived all my life in Mexico and I love it. Actually, the only places i would like to live in are Mexico, USA, Canada and Costa Rica. That's it... I guess everyone likes the place thet were born in.
How in the world are Kuwait, Israel, and the UAE in front of Japan?
I don't have a problem with the list.
This being a vg site it makes me laugh a bit seeing all of the the talk about Japan :P
Any country with a suicide rate that high can't be all that great.
and to respond to the OP, Chile is actually a great country. Beautiful place with very nice people.

I'm guessing the reason you want to move to Colorado is because of the recent marijuana legalization?
I wold much rather move to Canada then move there now.
