Switzerland is the best country in the world

Switzerland is the best country in the world for the third year running, according to the annual ranking of the world's nations released by U.S. News & World Report.


The list compiles the results of surveys from 21,000 people around the world who scored their homelands based on 65 attributes that included happiness, education, influence, economic opportunity, and more. The report covers perceptions of 80 nations.

Attributes were grouped into nine subrankings that rolled into the Best Countries ranking: Adventure, Citizenship, Cultural Influence, Entrepreneurship, Heritage, Movers, Open for Business, Power and Quality of Life.

The 2019 Best Countries report and rankings are based on how global perceptions define countries in terms of a number of qualitative characteristics, impressions that have the potential to drive trade, travel and investment and directly affect national economies.

Switzerland is seen as excelling in many areas in the Best Countries report, such as business-oriented metrics, providing a high quality of life and being a leader in innovation. Respondents in the Best Countries survey consider Switzerland the top country in terms of economic stability, access to capital, a strong legal framework and prestige.

However, I might add that Canada beat us in one important ranking. For the fourth consecutive year, Canada ranks No. 1 overall for providing a good quality of life.
