Nordics, Canada, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Australia and NZ are objectively the best 10 countries in the world.
They are in every positive top 10s.
We should have a name for this group of elites.

Hmmmm, really makes you think
You have all those qt cats
We call them the successosphere
Seriously, what are Aus, NZ, Canada, and Nords/Scandis, doing that makes them so great?

Fuck off
So, antidepressants are the key?
These countries score top 10 in basically every metric possible related to quality of life.
If we take antidepressants en masse will we be super 1st world too?
Meant to to quote
The secret to happiness is murdering muslims, maybe?
Those top countries are doped up on antidepressants, alcohol and drugs.
Just look at the scandi posters here. They're all miserable faggots.
Social democracies are the most advanced form of society and government and do the most to improve people's lives and esteem. According to research increases in income stop boosting happiness on average around 75k per year so a society that is focused on supporting those below 75k at the expense of those above it is going to be happier than a society that pampers those above 75k at the expense of those below it
Also many of the happiest nations are monarchies and monarchies are happier. They have more soul
lol, this comparison is confounded to hell and back
The pattern is constant
I think we're #1 in antidepressants consumed though. It's way over-prescribed here
You forget you live in a segregated class society.
While its overprescribed, its only for a few social classes.
The 20% that is black seem to do fine, if shitty poor negro lives.
Which hicks seem to do fine.
Immigrants who hasn't gotten to the upper social classes seem to do fine.
if you aren't complaining about the state of something, you aren't british
Good post desu
>The richest countries with the best health care systems and best access to medicine use medicine the most
Mind Blow
that implies that depression severe enough for treatment to be sought affects all countries at the same rates, which doesn't seem to be the case
I guess living in irrelevant countries that have never achieved anything lets you not worry about anything
>depression severe enough for treatment
Your answer lies in that sentence
only if you miss my point, which is that depression (like all other disorders) seems to be decently heritable and shouldn't be expected to be the same everywhere
They achieved success and an unparalleled quality of life
I think this map is bullshit. Everyone I meet here is on anti depressants, self hating, and dreams of moving. I know for a fact quality of life is much better in almost every 1st world country
how can you draw that conclusion from those graphs?
>I think this map is bullshit. Everyone I meet here is on anti depressants,
Anecdotal
>They achieved success and an unparalleled quality of life
Yeah quality of life in fucking Israel and Costa Rica is Tip Top. And Austria... give me a fucking break man.
>And Austria... give me a fucking break man.
Being born in Austria would be a dream come true for me and most people on earth, and Vienna often ranks in the top 10 or 5 quality of life cities in the world
OP and most itt aren't talking about Israel or Costa Rica though. He's pointing out that the Nords/Scandis, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and a couple Euro microstates consistently score in the top 10 of every possible metric related to quality of life. Reptrak, life expectancy, healthcare, education, safety, hapiness, live cities entries, HDI/IHDI, etc.
All contenders for the title "best country on earth" with the difference being which weather, scenery, language, and sports you like.
i was gonna ask what did you consider an 'achievement' on a global stage, but
>german flag
i'm not drawing any conclusions. i'm just saying that the dutch guy's point is exaggerated since other factors are important too
>consistently score in the top 10
that's wrong about safety, life expectacny and healthcare quality. you forgot about a few east asian states for all 3 and southern europe for the 2nd
happiness is a very subjective metric so it isn't comparable either
obviously they all score well on every metric since all those metrics are interrelated but this need for muh top 5/10/15/20 is retarded
...
I don't know, make any sort of contribution to society. Something none of this countries have made. Don't get me wrong I like Skandi countries and all, but they are micro countries that have almost no output in the world and fucking Austria, Luxembourg and New Zealand are fucking pretty much non countries anyway they might as well just be annexed.
Ok Greece
Greenland is part of Denmark.
Iceland is pretty much a part of Denmark also since we used to own that island.
So yes, they are both nordic. Iceland even more than Denmark.
Based Norge
m8, i get your point but you're dumb. you posted a map that ranks those 7 countries between themselves
Lovely image
Ny union når?
even if that were true, why would they wanna spend resources "making contributions to society", when they can just focus on getting a higher quality of life for their own people?
NU!
Danmark & Norge best
they already spend resources on that and have considerable scientific and technological output. the German is just trying to compare them to the last 500 year track record of his country and the other behemoths of Western Europe (UK, France, Italy) but everyone else falls short of that
the degeneracysphere
Did you mean democracysphere?
Because its what moves us forward. These countries would be nothing without Germany, France, UK or even you Spain. Some of them, like Norway, just had fucking dumb luck and they roll with it. The thing is, they are smart sure they invest where they are supposed to invest but these countries are just fucking specs compared to the global machinery, so yeah they have "better quality of life" but they have it thanks to us.
Canada at least os a top 10 GDP, literally one of the biggest, wealthiest, economies on earth, Australia isn't far behind at like 12. This despite their small populations.
Kind of hard to call one of the top 10 GDPs on earthba "spec [k]"
no, I meant the cucksphere
I wasn't talking about Canada you ass I was talking about the European countries
Rampant poverty, corruption, crime is way more degrading and degenerate to a society than allowing gays to marry honestly
>enabling gay marriage
our green and left parties killed gay marriage here last week for at least the next 4 years
Antidepressants don't really make you happy, It makes you feel nothing and if you asked a person on antidepressants whether he is happy or not, the answer would probably be the latter.
Sweden is the 22nd largest economy in the World.
With less than 10 million people.
Don't bother, he's just butthurt that he doesn't live in one of the successosphere countries and does the same thing as most Americans on Sup Forums squealing about "muh relevancy."
Would not be surprised to find out he is an American in Germany.
>Grew up with online Aussies raging at the US for being too homophobic, sexist, racist, gun-loving, religiously conservative etc.
>Now it's the other way around and I see Aussies here bitching about us being too tolerant and progressive
Bit odd, the internet today feels the opposite it was in 2002-2006
wtf i love denmark now
