Denmark and Sweden are "weak" if you would look at it like you probably mean and people there have still less problems on average as in USA, UK, Russia, China or Germany. Power of a country doesn't automatically mean that the population has something from that. USA is also much more powerful as Canada and Canadians don't really suffer from that do they? It's not as if a Canadian sits in his office chair and has to think "man, if Canada would be 10x as powerful like USA is, my life would be so much better now" Sure, maybe USA would profit if Canada would be a part of USA but not because you would be even bigger and more powerful on this planet. More because Canada does pretty good so that pretty much every country could be happy if they would be a part of them. |
So, two countries with smaller populations with little outside influence or interest have less problems than large countries. Interesting observations.
