Revision as of 03:04, 2 April 2015
There are many lists out there that rank countries by various metrics and try to find which ones are the best to live in. Unfortunately, these aren't very useful, because there is heavy bias along political agendas (liberals will rank countries like Sweden highly even though they're objectively shit), censorship due to political correctness, very strong pressure from government propaganda machines to influence results, and much information is either irrelevant to a normal person, or presented in a useless way.
This page attempts to honestly list the meaningful pros and cons of living in various countries, which would relevant to a normal /tech/ user.
