Don’t worry, the UK will soon become a third-world nation. A combination of high taxation and insane policies will prove lethal.

He acknowledged that it was a little unfair to put the Vatican at the top because it did not face the sort of threats and economic pressures of other countries. But under the rating system, which took into account each nations political structures, social and economic trends, military and security risks and external relations, the Vatican state scored an average of 99 out of 100. Sweden and Luxembourg were also rated 99, with the UK not far off, with an average of 97, but scoring 100 for its politics, economics and external relations. So they acknowledge it is a bit ridiculous comparing The Vatican with other nations on a basis with nations of millions of people.
Gee, ya think? Oh, and Monaco - that bastion of urban crime and welfare dependency. Glad Lichtenstein solved its inner city drug problem though.....

Lived in the Netherlands. Nice place. Not even close to the USA for prosperity. I smell a skewed study!

Mr Le Mière said that the US had fallen down the scale, although it still scored an average of 93 out of 100, partly because of the proliferation of small arms owned by Americans OK.
