I hate it when small countries are compared to large ones like the US. Of course the smaller countries will look better than the larger ones. A small country like Israel that is largely homogeneous, and of one religion, culture, language, etc, does not have the problems of the United States.

If Bill Gates bought an island and formed a country, with himself as the only citizen, he could boast that his country with just 1:6,000,000,000 of the worlds population, that everyone in the country has a masters degree, is a billionaire, etc... These studies simply bother the heck out of me.

Remarkably ignorant comment.

Israel may be the least homogeneous place on Earth.

Just look at their politics or walk down any Israeli street.

Visit Tel Aviv and then Jerusalem or visa versa, you'll wonder if you are in the same country.
