In the summer of 2010, Newsweek concluded that Finland, followed by Switzerland, is the best country on earth, citing a composite score based on education, health, quality of life, economic dynamism, and political environment. One could also argue quality of life per se determines the best country, in which case the winner by Newsweek?s metric is Norway. America ranked No. 11 overall and No. 9 on quality of life. The United Nations? Human Development Index has us at No. 4, behind Australia, the Netherlands, and?again?Norway. The Heritage Foundation?s Index of Economic Freedom likes Singapore and Hong Kong the best, but we?ll nix them as candidates for overall bestness for their lack of political freedom. Then come Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Canada, Ireland, Denmark, and finally the United States.
