Ireland, Japan, Iceland, Germany, the Scandinavian countries, Finland and the various city-states and miniscule nations such as Qatar, Monaco and Singapore all typically top world rankings for happiness, income, health, safety, quality of life and general livability.
Is there something commonly held that makes these nations so great, or are there individual reasons(copious resources, small populations, homogeneous demographics, etc.)?
What ideology, based on how these are nations are ranked, seems to apparently be the best?

The combination is a strong and willing labor force (I think mini states like monaco and even qatar don't really compare to the others you named), rule of law and a non-shit education system imo.

This. Also homogeneity.
It's not super complicated. The problem places like the US have is that they're just plain too big and heterogeneous.
Julian Barnes
I dont feel like Cuckmany is homogenous. At all.

I can tell you about Monaco since I live here
>only two parties, both socially conservative
>parties are in practice useless since the prince is the de facto monarch and has the last word on everything
>zero taxation on personal income (loopholes to allow part of company profit to be accounted as personal income by the company manager)
>very careful government spending
>almost impossible to get citizenship and thus voting
>expensive so poorfags can't come

In singapores case: its only a city and cities always have higher rankings for everything than small towns. Singapore also polices the shit out of everything. It's very expensive too so it prices out the riff raft.
Elijah Rivera
Often this stuff is just misrepresentation on polls.
If you ask a Dane if they're happy or not in public they will tell you they're happy even if theyre planning to commit suicide. So those happiness polls are hardly accurate.

Irish people are far from "happy". We just have a tendency to act like we're ok when we're not. Suicide is one of the biggest killers of young men in Ireland and mental health is a massive issue in most elections (though governments rarely seek to improve the institutions for handling it once in power). Don't let the statistics from our lies fool you, we're miserable

Isaac Lewis
Most of those have had homogenous populations and dont have to dump much into their defense because they rely on larger countries like the US to handle it for them, meaning they can put that money into social programs.

This plus it still wouldn't even be that much of a problem if the feds would fuck off. State rights would solve this problem.

Is Germany a happy place? I hear Berlin is full of degenerates. Still want to visit though.

Japan is just an outlier.
