You can bring up Quality of Life and UN HDI all you want but we are talking solely about standard of living (i.e., how "... |

| New Zealand. Why? The country is beautiful, English is the language of the land, temperature rarely drops below 0. Social programs I could give two hoots about. New Zeland is just like Britain. An island nation like Britain and almost exactly the same size. But it has a population of just 3 million... |

| Poland is retarded. It's a nation of biggoted farmers who have nothing but cheap labour to offer to the EU. And of coarse I'm generalizing. Well we've all got our generalisations. The Swedes all have blond hair and blue eyes and like shopping at Ikea. The Finns spend a lot of time in the sauna and ... |

| It seems that Canadian republicans want to get rid of the monarchy because it's religiously discriminatory (doesn't allow Catholics, Canada's biggest single religion) and it means Canada's head of state isn't Canadian.
