Newsweek ranked countries based on 5 criteria (Countries in par. are those who ranked first in each category) and made a list of the top 100:
1)Education (Finland)
2)Health (Japan)
3)Quality of Life(Norway)
4)Economic Dynamism(Singapore)
5)Political Environment(Sweden)
The top 10 countries are:

1)Finland
2)Switzerland
3)Sweden
4)Australia
5)Luxembourg
6)Norway
7)Canada
8)Netherlands
9)Japan
10)Denmark [/hide]
The USA ranked 11, the UK 14, and South Korea 15.
I honestly did not expect SK to rank that high.
North Korea is, of course, not on the list.
So, what are everyone's thoughts on the list?
Are these 5 criteria enough to rank the world's countries?
Should there be more?
Did any countries surprise you with their position? Any too low? Too high?
