Italy and Spain are the best places to live in the world.
The only real oponents are Singapore (due to richness), Australia and NZ, but Aus is too wild, boring due to weather and dangerous because spiders and shit. And NZ is too isolated, but seems great.
Compared to Spain countries like USA look like a joke. People trying to outjew each other at any time. It looks like a movie set without nothing behind it.
People with no life.
Or you visit France and there is no life in the streets. Everything is gray and boring.
Here we live with happiness, have great food, a lot of holidays and vacations, great infrastructures, a balanced growth (universal education, healthcare, renewable energies, subways, high-speed trains), 3000 years of culture and history that you can experience in every city...
People know how to enjoy life, food is delicious, cities are livable with a lot of bike lanes and stuff, women are hot, lot of parties and festivals, little politically correct bullshit, people enjoy playing sports... economically we are not as prosperous as the top in the world, but after a bad crisis we are growing at +3% yearly and besides there are regions with a 30% black market economy trying to outjew Brussels for money while the gov looks at the other side.
On paper there might be places in the world that may seem better. You can talk about California, for example. But when you get down to reality, and you see real estate prices, people at Silicon Valley working 10 hours per day, crime statistics, racial statistics, obesity, lifestyle... when you experience one place and another... then you can see reality. And Spain and Italy win.
I take a long weekend (3 days) vacation almost every month. And in very few hours I'm in an amazing place full of history, own local food, nature, and peaceful, welcoming and happy people. You can't experience this in many places. We win.
