hehe Oddball.
Actually this list has some quite down to earth criteria and is a good measure for the overall state of a country.
Canada is above the US cause they have a pupblicly funded healthcare system. Think about that one.
Finland has it quite easy. Low population count (5.3m) , high number of natural resources and a good GDP topped off with a parliamentary republic and using the nordic model for their economy and finally one of the most advanced welfare systems in the world. Go Finland! ^^
I'd move there if it weren't for the cold weather and that awfully hard language. ^^
