2017: Switzerland Tops The Best Country To Live In The World, U.S. Drops. by Explorers(m): 11:25am On Mar 08, 2017 |
Switzerland has been named as the best country in the world to live in according to a new report that has seen Germany fall from top spot to fourth. The list 2017 Best Countries is now in its second year and rankings evaluate nations' cultural influence, heritage, power and quality of life among other things to come up with a score. The scores are then pitted against each other to come up with a definitive list of the best countries in the world. Germany was downgraded due to a range of events, including the growing public fear over the influx of migrants and the string of deadly terror attacks in 2016. The US also fell down the pecking order from fourth to seventh. Although the report considered the US the world's most powerful nation, 75 percent of the survey's respondents said they lost respect for the leadership in the White House after Donald Trump was elected. According to the 2017 Best Countries Report, the top ten overall best countries to live in are: 1. Switzerland 2. Canada 3. United Kingdom 4. Germany 5. Japan 6. Sweden 7. United States 8. Australia 9. France 10. Norway 11. Netherlands 12. Denmark 13. Finland 14. New Zealand 15. Singapore 16. Italy 17. Luxembourg 18. Austria 19. Spain 20. China Best countries for retirement 1.

Good list. Thank God people are now realizing that the world does not revolve around US.There are countries better than Us in all ramifications;but they are not popular or 'noisy' like the US.

Principe:President Kennedy made a similar mistake in the 60s when he said "ich bin ein Berliner " to the utter amusement of the Germans. If i recall well, a Berliner is a pastry. The correct thing to say would be "ich bin stolz ein Berliner zu sein". Gotta love Germany, great place to study,... but I insist that Angela Merkel policy on welcoming dangerous migrants will haunt them for generations to come. 2 Likes |

Racist list. Some African countries are better than these top ten places to live in but Europeans will always score their countries high even places with temperatures as low as - 50'C during winter are included in that list. Living in a frozen habitat and still feeling funky, tufiakwa 1 Like |

[quote author=Audrinakane post=54396974][/quote] Is it just culture? What of better climate, social attitude, religion practiced, etc How can UK be first 5? A country where your next door neighbor isn't interested whether you are dead or alive and if you disturb his peace he will call the cops on you, a place where you can't wear a symbol of your religion in peace and where you can freeze to death in winter or Canada where you are virtually living inside ice? Even Switzerland where no one cares about you apart from the govt, a soulless country Thank God for Africa 3 Likes |

Pidgin2: What about security, education, opportunities, employment and salaries. African countries have a lot to work on especially in terms of social facilities and things of comfort. Religious intolerance is actually a bigger problem in Africa than most European countries. Fine, there weather is bad but there are still parts where your neighbours care for you like Canada which is a very welcoming country. Africa had a lot to improve on, we need to eradicate a lot of things and start thinking about other things apart from religion which seems to tear us further apart. South Africa and Morocco are still nothing compared to these countries. |
