What is the best country to live in?

I'm American and live in Italy - have for many years.  Americans think often that they are the best, but they don't see beyond the easy life many have there, the shopping, the everyday things.  In Europe we see life as being a part of the world - when things don't go well in other countries, it becomes our problem.  Even if things in America are going wrong, it affects us.  Unfortunately Americans are not as free as they think - they are not told many truths, and they think that they are being told the truth.  Don't want to sound like I am 100% right, but I feel that living in Europe, possibly Italy where I am, is not a worse life because of less money, but a better total life - with a deeper concern for what happens all over the world. At least our news is more honest, and people seem to know what is going on, and worrying more about it.  It makes life a little more realistic, and not just fun and games, which seems pretty common in the States (like I said, don't want to generalize - it's my feeling).

Pro to living in Holland.  the health care system, education is better. the culture is more loose and comfortable, less conservative.  To me you have more freedoms in holland.  there is less land however i think that is just one minor downside.  I am in a similar situation where i might have to give up my citizenship to the united states.  and to me its worth the risk.  if you get your citizenship in holland, technically speaking you have the whole of the european union at your disposal.  once you have that you can work in other countries with ease.. live any where... America has changed alot over the past few years... i think it would benifit you more if you lived in holland

Since I was born and raised in the USA, I think it would be interesting to live in Europe and Asia. That way I could really give you an honest answer from experience having lived in all three places.

Well not knowing anything else about the place, a survey done at the University of Leicester concluded that Denmark was the happiest country in the world. I'm not 100% sure exactly how they assess happiness. I think it's simply by asking people "Are you happy with your life" and getting them to answer on a 5 point scale.\n\nIn any case, if you pick Denmark, get ready for socialism and high taxes. If you're a big money earner, expect to pay tax percentages into the 70's (59% is the max income tax but with county taxes and others the amount goes up). But if they're so happy they must be getting something for their money, right?

I have to ask first, why do you want to leave?  Not that I'm pro-American - I'm actually anti-American, but what is it about America that you don't like?  Why do you think things will be better in a different country?  Each country has their set of problems and people are always frustrated with something or other about whatever country they live in.  I love the country I'm in, and wouldn't leave no matter how bad it got.  To make things better you need to stick with where you are, not give up and run.  But if you need to move, them move!  Lots of countries are amazing - England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, actually anywhere in Europe - many countries accepting new people.

The best place to retire in my opinion is a country in Europe because the Euro is ruling the world and they have one of the most beautiful places in the world.  So go to Europe and live an exquisite life, but have some cash in reserve.  And if you are asking, I'm Central American, form El Salvador.

Canada has been voted the Best Country in the world to live.\nFor the past several years, a United Nations survey has found Canada to be the best place in the world to live. Canada earned particularly high marks for its access to education, high life expectancy, and low crime and violence rates. In addition, Canada's largest cities Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal have been recognized as world class cities in which to live and work, for their cleanliness and safety and for their cultural activities and attractive lifestyles\n\nValue for money\n\nOur cost of living is very low compared to the UK and the US. This also means that you get a great deal for other expenses like accommodation, food etc etc.\n\nHigh Standard of Living\n\nCanadians enjoy a standard of living among the highest in the world. More than 65 per cent of Canadians own their own homes, with a higher percentage owning durable goods, such as automobiles, refrigerators, washing machines, television, telephones and radios.\n\nA welcoming environment\n\nCanada is a multi-cultural country and has a tradition of accepting and encouraging multicultural diversity.\n\nBeautiful environment\n\nCanadians place a high value on their natural environment. There are currently 39 national parks and national park reserves in Canada, located in every province and territory. Each province and territory has also designated areas as provincial parks, wilderness areas, ecological and nature reserves. There are over 2000 of these designated areas across the country.\n\nPeople who come to Canada will witness one of the most beautiful, natural environments in the world. Canada is also a country of diverse geography, and there is much to experience in its great outdoors: from the lush coastline of British Columbia, the majestic Rocky Mountains of Alberta, the big skies of the prairies, to the 'maple sugar country' in the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence and the rugged hills and picturesque coastline of the Atlantic provinces\n\n\nA safe place to study\n\nCanada is well-known as a safe, and peaceful society. Canadian crime rates have been falling steadily since the 1990s. Unlike our US neighbours to the south, firearms are strictly controlled and generally are not permitted in Canada.\n\nA High-Tech country\n\nCanada is an international leader in computer and information technologies and has a reputation for excellence in such sectors as telecommunications, transportation and engineering; and specifically, aerospace, urban transport, microelectronics, medical devices, advanced software, hydroelectric and nuclear power, lasers and opto-electronics, biotechnology, food and beverage processing, geomatics; and ocean and environmental industries.

That depends on your preferences.  If you like sun, then Spain is nice.  Skiing?  Then perhaps Switzerland or the Italian Alps would be best. Like to live near reindeer, then Norway couldn't be beat!

Generally, the European countries - France, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark to name the top 5.  Reason is that they are broad minded and peaceful yet very much involved in world events.  They have a good standard of living and a good balance of social programs with free economy.  I am American and USA could take a lesson.
