Current Events > Which country in the world right now is the best to live in?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Asking for a friend

None, fascism and authoritarianism are rising globally. Everything, everywhere, is going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Japan

All the Nordic countries are pretty damn solid by most metrics. Id have a hard time ever choosing another place though as Ive visited countries all over the world many times over while I was in the Navy and there are so many places/regions I like.

But yeah I could totally be pretty content in a Nordic country.

Antarctica

Japan, same as it's always been

Antarctica.

I don't think it's that great even for Japanese people. I've heard it is horrendous for work-life balance.

Switzerland is ranked at the top of the Human Development Index, so probably there.

Nowhere. It's pretty much all burning down now thanks to the greedy, the stupid, the hateful, and the apathetic among us.

Probably Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Icelandthey're the Nordic countries. Denmark, Sweden and Finland are also EU member states as well.

None that are easy to get into.

???

All the ones in the EU freely accept anyone from Spain or Portugal.

As an Aussie, I'd say we're doing fairly well down here.

We had our main election the other year, which for us, had just as much tension as the US one. We had our own mini trump like figure who wanted to ruin us. He was the prime minister at the time (one the public never voted in) and only wanted what was in his best interest.

Fortunately, our public are kinda clued on and we stopped him.

I also live in the capital and we're pretty progressive here.

There are some signs that things have potential to go tits up, but we'll see. It's going good so far.

Didn't it just lose in some big European elections?

Sure, that's always something that may effect us. It will be interesting. I could see many people just ignoring the US and dealing with other countries more.
