You two are making me smile bigtime! I love being Canadian and love it when others feel the same!
You Dudes Rock!

. It's when you travel that you realize how well Canada is looked upon. Everywhere I've ever traveled being Canadian was always a recipe for success. There's nowhere in the world I would rather be (yes even with the crazy taxes and all)

Alright, time for a fellow Canuck to jump in on the Canada love. It's awesome to see the passion for Canada. It's an awesome country!

I fixed that for you

Hah, Iraq and Afghanistan are both among the worst 10 nations in the world on this list. Good to know my tax dollars are well spent.

The Scandinavian countries (Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway), the Benelux countries (The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg), Canada, New Zealand and Australia traditionally rank in the Top.

So given that...what is it that those countries have in common?

Don't forget Austria and Switzerland - they always seem to do well! And I agree - an answer to that question would have you banned lol

What do the countries at the bottom of the list have in common?

There are two very clear indicators of success and failure as a country and neither is acceptable for discussion on this site or out in the open.
