What Are The Best Countries on Earth?

This is a 2025 update of my 2014 post about Best Countries. In 2014 took my first impartial look at which countries on earth are doing best at the factors that matter to me. I looked up maps and tables for Income Equality, Corruption, Homicide Rate, World Citizenship, Healthy Average Life Expectancy, Annual Work Hours Per Worker, Abortion Rate, Capital Punishment Rate, Freedom, Economic Freedom. I chose the first of these factors because I thought it would be nice to live in a country where I had lots of free time in health and safety without listening to a lot of griping about the government and the rich.  I added more factors later, some of them by request. If you can think of important factors I omitted, please leave me a comment. Here are the numbers and the countries that are doing best on earth.

Summary

Northern Europe, Iceland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan do well on most measures, with top prize going to northern Europe, particularly Switzerland and Denmark.  Close behind Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Japan rank consistently well.  Bucking the agreement of every other measure, Northern Europe (with highly-ranked Switzerland and Spain not exactly northern in European terms) is not the winner for healthy life expectancy, which goes to more southern countries led by Singapore, Japan, Cyprus, and Australia.

Carrying the contest through measures added since I first made this post, the most consistent winners are Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Denmark.  And an arbitrary long list of countries that significantly beat the USA includes Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, Spain, Norway, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Iceland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark,  Japan. If I forgot a country please let me know.

Corruption

This is the Corruptions Perception Index map from Wikipedia.  Winners: (1) Denmark; (2) Finland, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, New Zealand; (3) Japan, Australia, Bhutan, Estonia, Germany, UK, Uruguay, Iceland, Canada

Abortion Rate

This data is from UN Data. I have done some followup research on the lower values at the top of this list, and many of them are not credible.  The value for Switzerland does seem to be a correct indication that Switzerland has a comparatively low abortion rate.  Most of our usual suspects don't do well by this measure, with many of them barely beating the USA.  That said, all of them do beat the USA on this list, with Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Finland, Japan, and Singapore doing best among usual suspects.

Capital Punishment Rate

Capital punishment is a little different than the other categories since most of the civilized world has stopped executing criminals. This graph is from Wikipedia.  The blue countries have abolished it.  The green and brown countries have generally stopped the practice.  The red countries retain the practice.  Winners include the usual suspects.

Freedom

The Cato Institute has measured human freedom globally since 2000. This is their 2022 rankings for the top countries. Same winners generally.
