If I were forced to choose amongst the eight above (and only amongst the eight above), my choices would be as follows:
1. US
2. Canada
3. Australia
4. Ireland
5. Sweden
6. Norway
7. Japan
8. Iceland
Why? Because of what my money can buy for me, in terms of money and socio-economic opportunities.
You should be kinder to Iceland. They did afterall discover America - and in the words of Oscar Wilde - "being intelligent people, they left immediately!"
What specifically do you mean by "
socio-economic opportunities"
