Here are some reports on various metrics:
Sources:
Top 10 Countries per Report:
World Happiness Report 2023:
Human Development Index (HDI) 2023:
Democracy Index 2023:
Global Peace Index 2023:
World Press Freedom Index 2023:
Aggregate Top 10 Based on Rank:
Norway
Denmark
Iceland
Ireland
New Zealand
Finland
Sweden
Switzerland
Netherlands
Australia
This is just a simple aggregation based on rank, such that the lowest score wins.
Edit: There is no difference in score between Norway and Denmark, I tried to number both as 1 but canβt figure out the correct markdown. Finland and Sweden also shares the same aggregate score. And Australia refuses to get in line.
Nice idea, I think a webpage collecting this information to create a top 50 would be really interesting. One question: Where did you find your used ranking of the World Hapiness Report, I found this page but this seems different, eg. Israel is on the 4th place.
I agree, I thought I had it from that linked report, but there seems to be the three year average. With those numbers, Denmark moves to nr one, one point ahead of Norway which is then tied with Iceland, and Sweden moves up one point ahead of Finland.
As this is such a simple way to do it though, these minor points between the top countries does not mean anything. All these countries are safe choices.
I was looking it up to see how it looks like for germany, and according to the data I found it would be on the same rank as Australia:
WHR 16
HDI 4
DI 14
GPI 17
WPFI 21
Sum: 72
Yeah, sure. I think it's more of an interesting and fun exercise but should not be taken too seriously.
