Do you give same importance to freedom of express of opinion with health,wealth and economic development? Then Finland is the best place for you. 'Leg atom Prosperity Index' of 2009 published on 27 October this country secured first place. 90 percent people of the world live in 104 countries included in the list. No Asian country could get place in first ten. The places of US and UK are 9th and 12th respectively.Among the first five of the list four countries are of Nordic zone. First Finland,third Sweden, fourth Denmark and fifth Norway. Among the first five countries second place is for Switzerland. To prepare the list with the economic growth freedom of express of opinion and democracy have been considered.

I went to Finland when I was 18 years old. I worked as a children's nanny for a wealthy family. They had a townhouse, a farm house in the countryside and a lakeside log cabin. It sounds like little there had changed. If a person doesn't mind a cool summer and a dark winter it is one of the best countries in the world to live in. The language is difficult to learn. Yes, the other countries in Scandinavia have a high standard of living. I would love to see the whole list. Switzerland is also a lovely country that is rich. Personally I think Australia would be the best country to live in.

You will get the whole list from the website. I picked it from a news paper. They published this news partly. You traveled many countries.You have vast experience.
My some relatives migrated to Australia. They told me that Australia is a nice country. You can judge better which is the best. Thanks a lot maximax.

Hi maximax, somehow I too have a good impression about Australians, and am terrified of dark winters. :) However, Australia does have a fairly large variety of snakes I wouldnt like to ever come across. :) Were there any in Finland? As to democracy, I have got so accustomed to my democracy being suppressed that at home, that I will find any country better than mine. :)

I have been to over 50 different countries. Here are a list of my top five:
1. Samoa
2. Australia
3. New Zealand
4. The Seychelles
5. Belize
Yes, Australia has many dangers from snakes and spiders to crocodiles and sharks. It has cockroaches and ticks. It also has amazing cities, beautiful beaches and a high quality of living.
