Hi
nice thread, but one concern though! how can France be the country with best quality of life when they happen to be very racist?

 

[no_name]

New Zealand is pretty good I have to say, as I'm currently living in here.
I think it is better than Australia, only bad (or maybe good?) thing is that it is not heavily industralized

 

[Awesome]

If you have the cash to blow around, nothing tops Pakistan

All i need is this car to have a happy life.

 

[Paksindhi]

Chand meri zamee, Phool mera watan

 

[kamakazi attack]

Canada should be number 1

 

[vimki]

I believe in the next 3-4 decades some more Asian countries will break into the list.

ps - it's strange not see to Japan in the top 20

 

[xMustiiej70]

wtf?
I Totally disagree.
These things are based on the catholics that lives in france germany and stuff..
If I as a turkish muslim live in the netherland.
I prefer living in nigeria.
these people here.
the racism..
how people look at you.
how expensive.
the rules..
it kills you.
these things are based at the results from dutch people.
and german people..

 

[Hyde]

For me World's 5 best countires to live in terms of quality of life are:

1) Saudi Arabia (Makkah aur Madina ki kya hi baat hai)
2) Norway
3) New Zealand
4) Austria
5) Switzerland

baaqi har taraf gand hi gand para howa hai. Like Asim said if you have good money in your Pocket then Pakistan is best

France also has the best healthcare and is not dependent on oil to run their country.
