You Amerispags did pretty well, at seventh.  Canada isn't bad at 9, either.  Auspags came second though and France came first for the fifth year in a row.

The UK, however, came behind such economic powerhouses as Belgium and Lithuania, in 25th place

I was hoping Spain would have been higher on the list.  for some reason, i have a desire to retire in Barcelona.

Who the fuck wants to live in France?

Interesting, I would have guessed the Scandanavian countries higher, though top 20 is nothing to sneeze at I suppose.

Absconding movie directors.

Who the fuck wants to live in France?

The South of France (Provence and near the Mediterranean) is so the bomb.  NOTHING like the north and Paris/environs.

The Belgians cheat.  They have Triple Zero.

Weather, dude, weather.

They're French.

Probably that's the reason they have it so good.  Portlanders often complain about issues too, and it's (factually) the greenest, and (arguably) most liberal state in the union.

Rhode Island has some of the best beaches and temperate summers in the nation and we still find reasons to bitch about it.

[Epimetheus]

I've never complained about California. 

But I digress. It's cool to see the U.S. that high on the list; the others are basically what I expected based on other such lists I've seen (I can't base it on my own knowledge because I have none of other countries ).

[Requia ☣]

You live in California and can't find anything to bitch about?

[Epimetheus]

that's not what I said.
