Frankly, I'm surprised the US is ranked as high as it is in this firest ever US News and World Report survey of the best countries in the world.
Is it ironic the Germany is #1? When you consider the history of the last century, you have to think so.
Canada ranks #2 and Great Britain #3. The survey, conducted by the magazine and the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and global brand consultants BAV Consulting, took into account 24 factors to make their determinations.
The new project ranks 60 countries across 24 categories and is based on a survey of more than 16,000 people.
The United States ranked first in power and influence. Sweden scored the most top spots, ranking first for being the best country for citizenship, raising kids and green living. Other top rankings include Brazil for adventure; Luxembourg for opening a business; France for cultural influence; Germany for entrepreneurship; Canada for quality of life; Italy for heritage; and India for its up-and-coming economy. In the end, Germany scored highest overall.
The ranking relied on surveys from 16,248 people from 36 countries in the Americas, Asia, Europe and Africa. Of those, more than 8,000 were "informed elites" (college-educated, middle- or upper-class individuals). More than 4,500 were business leaders, defined as senior leaders in an organization or individuals who own small business that employ others. The rest belonged to the general public.
Each respondent was asked to share his or her perceptions on a random selection of 65 attributes for a random selection of countries. The attributes were each scored and grouped into nine broader categories: adventure, citizenship, cultural influence, entrepreneurship, heritage, movers, open for business, power and quality of life.

Asinine
I have worked in Canada and UK.
I was always glad to return to these United States.
Bwahahahahahaha!!!
Islam will see to that.
4 of the top 5 are in the process of being overrun by murderous refujhadists.
They won’t be top 5 much longer.
*sigh*
Obama did his best to push us down the list and is doing his damnedest to push us down further till he leaves office and even after he leaves (if he leaves).
Germany is #1?
Merkel is trying to do an Obama and ruin that. ‘Come on in! We got plenty of room. And bring your Sharia and prayer rugs with you.’
Are the “factors” considered for the rankings the ones that are important to you? I did not notice any other listed country that I would live in, regardless of ranking. Canada would be OK if one got rid of the government, liberals and queers.
Germany received the top ranking because of its strong economy, world influence and its focus on important global issues, such as the migrant crisis and Eurozone unity, the survey said, according to The New York Daily News.
The ranking was based on surveys from 16,248 people from 36 countries in the Americas, Asia, Europe and Africa. Of those, more than 8,000 were college-educated, middle- or upper-class individuals, while more than 4,500 others were senior business leaders. Respondents were asked to share their perceptions on a random selection of 65 attributes for a random selection of countries, with the attributes scored and grouped into nine broader categories: adventure, citizenship, cultural influence, entrepreneurship, heritage, movers, open for business, power and quality of life.
“I have worked in Canada and UK.”
I was trying to escape socialism and idiot Americans made this country socialist for the past 8 years. I;m damn glad this idiotic hopeychangey BS will come to an end in less than a year...
How on earth can they base all of this anyway?

It really depends on the CRITERIA of their survey...

I would base it on weather, lifestyle, education, freedom, not immigration, green living etc.
No liberals, socialists and have freedom would be much better to live in than how they judged this.
Saw this earlier today on local news. Based on the questions, the US is 4th because we’re not liberal enough.
Is it ironic the Germany is #1?...................... Oh crap! Does this mean we’re going to have another World War to get to #1?
