What is the Best Country in the World? An Index of Morality, Conscience and Good Life
"Which countries set the best examples to the rest of the world? Which ones would we do best to copy, to emulate and to admire for their foresight, hard work and long-term conscience? Which countries would have humanity survive gleaming into a clean, happy, bright future?
And who are tardy on humanitarian issues, science or development? Which nations and cultures cling to barbarian ethics on gender and sexual equality? Who is holding us back?
I compile relevant statistics on a wide range of issues and put them into a database-driven system, which calculates points per country. The country's overall score is an average of all the datasets that a country appears in. So, countries don't get penalized for lack of data about them. I've arrived at a shortlist of countries that beat all the others. Be the best!
Best:
1 Iceland 90.7
2 Sweden 90.2
3 Norway 89.2
4 Denmark 88.3
5 New Zealand 88.1
6 Finland 87.7
7 Netherlands 84.1
8 Australia 83.6
9 Luxembourg 83.6
10 Belgium 83.3
Worst:
190 Afghanistan 27.4
189 Sudan 29.6
188 Somalia 29.7
187 Congo, DR 33.1
186 Mauritania 33.8
185 Central African Rep. 35.0
184 Chad 35.1
183 Yemen 35.5
182 Iraq 36.2
181 Niger 36.4"

I made a bet with myself before clicking the link that this would be defining moral as "greatest distribution of leftist ideals". Imagine my total lack of surprise when I won that bet.
Who lost?
The part of me that's still occasionally inclined to believe that the world isn't entirely infested with leftist feces.
