Congratulation Galt - Sweden is the goodest country on earth

Postby Vutulaki » Thu Nov 09, 2017 2:23 am

If the United Nations gave out MVP trophies for entire countries, Sweden would win hands-down.

According to a new report called the "Good Country Index," which ranked 163 countries by their contributions to the global community, Sweden takes the top spot overall. In individual categories, the tiny Nordic scored first in measures of Prosperity & Equality and Health & Wellbeing.

"Sweden must be bored of coming top in every bloody country index but that's the fact of the matter," Simon Anholt, an independent policyadvisor and the Index's creator, told The Local.

As Anholt suggests, Sweden is no stranger to topping lists of innovative countries. Last September, for instance, it ranked third in the Global Innovation Index, most notably for its elite research universities. Within the last four years, it has never fallen outside the top three.

To compile the Good Country Index, Anholt created 35 separate categories that he eventually distilled into seven big buckets: Science & Technology, Culture, International Peace & Security, World Order, Planet & Climate, Prosperity & Equality, and Health & Wellbeing.


The data came from sources like the United Nations and the World Bank, the Local reports.


Sweden's dominance in the equality and wellbeing categories stems from its insistence on human rights for all, both stateside and abroad. Sweden's parental leave policy, for instance, is one of the most generous in the world -- new moms and dads take 480 days, 90 of which are reserved for fathers only as a way to promote bonding.

It also frequently sends its own doctors to help with health crises in other countries and provide aid during pandemics.

Given its heavy arms exports and refugee-related conflicts, however, Sweden's lowest-performing categories were International Peace & Security, where it placed 52nd, and World Order, where it came in at 11th.

The top 5:

1. Sweden

2. Denmark

3. The Netherlands

4. United Kingdom

5. Germany

The bottom 5:

159. Iraq

160. Central African Republic

161. Mauritania

162. Ecuatorial Guinea

163. Libya

^^^LOL at "cuckolds to the war mongers" The UK coming in at number 4 then 3 of the bottom 5 being placed badly due to the UK's efforts (in part)

Hahahahahahah!
