"Rich" is a misleading term. If you mean which one ranks highest in terms of human development and attainable lifestyle, it looks like this:\n\n1. Scandinavia (Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark)\n2. Australia and New Zealand\n3. Japan\n\nAnd I would like to live in all of them, but since language comes into the equation, and things like "will I get a visa" and "will I find a job", I would say Australia and New Zealand are probably most people's best bet.

I would guess Monaco, which also has the lowest crime rate in the world. But that is the playground of people who do not have money worries.\n\nOn a more normal scale, Norway has a very high standard of living and property prices are nuts. I built a house 2 years ago for 3.2 million kroner, and it is now worth 5.5 million. That is a boom market. This is mid Norway. Northern Norway does not have the same cycle - we are in the oil and gas (Offshore) bracket here in Bergen.\n\nWe pay very high taxes though :-( \n\nHope that helps with your question

The Standard of living refers to the quality and quantity of goods and services available to people. It is generally measured by real (i.e. inflation adjusted) income per person, although sometimes other measures may be used; examples are access to certain goods (such as number of refrigerators per 1000 people), or measures of health such as life expectancy.

Developed nations are those countries with high standard of living for the generality of its populace.\nA developed country usually has good economic indices (in terms of per capita income, GDP, growth rate of the economy, level of unemployment etc)\nFor a country that wants to be "developed", it has to work towards improving those indices mentioned above.

There's no one answer to this question.  It depends on which skills you look at, what aspect of education you mean.  I believe Japan, India, and Canada are among the best.  A good benchmark would be to know which countries pay their teachers the best.

3rd world countries are countries whose economic standing is in the lower 12%. Any country who relies on foreign aid and excusable debt to sustain itself is third world. suprisingly, most countries are.\n\n2nd world is countries who rank in the middle 40%, these are mostly agricultural countries with light to heavy industrial exports. Tourism also falls into this category.\n\n1st world are the Top 10 world superpowers at anyone time. the top 5 are,\n\nUnited States\nUnited Kingdom\nJapan\nFrance\nCanada (odd isnt it.)\n\nthe current world superpower in all matters of foreign affairs is the united states, making us the most powerful country in the world. \n\nthe highest per capita income, relative to its size for any country, is Vatican City in rome.
