United Kingdom vs United States vs Canada vs Australia vs New Zealand
Rank these English countries from best to worst. If you can explain your ranking of these countries that would be great! I wonder how people would rank these countries.

The US has more "peoples freedom" than all the others together

Virtually no scholars or civil rights organizations rank the US as even being in the top 10 freest countries in the world. And US consistently ranks at the bottom of the list when looking at just those five countries. A few examples:

New Zealand 8.75
Canada 8.47
Australia 8.51
UK 8.3
US 8.23

https://www.cato.org/human-freedom-index/2022
-----
New Zealand 99
Canada 98
Australia 95
UK 93
US 83

https://freedomhouse.org/countries/freedom-world/scores?sort=desc&order=Total%20Score%20and%20Status
------------------
New Zealand (Rank 5) 78.9
Australia (Rand 13) 74.8
Canada (Rank 16) 73.7
US (Rank 25) 70.6
UK (Rank 28) 69.9

im basing it on australia knocking on suspected inected covid people door and giving them 1 hour to pack and get in the van to be shipped to camps for 2 weeks. $5000 fine for noncompliance, $5000 fine for not following camp rules.

Canada would probably be wiped off from the map before 6pm. If we're talking about military might, of course.

Basically, we measure country qualities based on two options: 1. Results of science and industry; 2. Life comfort for its people.

Small countries like New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Scotland, etc. have the happiest people because they are small and highly manageable, so everyone works fairly and consumes the resources optimally.

Canada and Australia have vast lands for immigrants. They are great at both developing science and maintaining balance for everyone. The two countries with the highest population of immigrants are China and India. Because each one contains 1/6 of the world's population. So Canada and Australia can be great places for these immigrants, as I mentioned. But if someday I want to choose another country to live in, I won't choose Canada or Australia because Canada has very cold weather everywhere and Australia is a big island in the middle of the ocean, which makes me feel like I'm living in a prison. That's why I never choose islands to live on, whether they are big or small.

The United States is ahead of science currently. It has been a superpower since 1990's, I think. It's the place to collect every specialty. For example, in Hollywood, there are variants of directors and actors from different countries who gather there and make movies. like the Italian Martin Scorsese director or the British Christian Bale actor.

Or even there are many artists from my country, like "Golshifteh Farahani," who acted in the Extraction 2020 movie; "Asghar Farhadi," the director who has won two Oscar Awards; or "Peyman Maadi," who acted in the Six Underground 2019 movie etc.

But different people have different ideas at different times in different states of the USA. You shouldn't necessarily choose to live there constantly, but if you want to represent your ideas as a specialist, you definitely need to travel to the USA because, as I mentioned, it's the world's most collected people and the best place to represent and advertise your achievements. My recommendation is, you can choose to live there for half a year and return to your homeland for the other half.


The European continent contains small countries with an overall population of 700 million. In Europe, countries divide their tasks; for example, Italy is great at cinema, tourism, and cooking. France is great at art, cooking, and tourism. Germany is great in industry. The Netherlands is great for its flowers and nature. Switzerland is great for watches, chocolates, etc.

Otherwise, the best country for each person is his/her homeland, as there is a famous slang saying, "There is no place like home". But personally, as an adventurist guy, I really need to experience living in different countries to satisfy myself. So, at first, I decided to build myself up until I became a useful person. Then maybe I would travel to different countries and work as a freelancer.

I feel like Infographics does a pretty good job on these types of rankings. Give them a watch on Youtube.

And it is perfectly fair to hold that against Australia. And there are certainly other incidents that you could hold against them. But that is only one incident - are you sure you've got a good grasp on how much freedom, how many rights Australians enjoy off of that one incident? There is more to life under [insert country]'s government than just there covid-19 response(s).

Anyways, Australia is just one country. You ranked the US as #1, but if you notice the US is at the bottom of the lists (of those five countries) in the scores compiled by various scholars and civil rights focused organizations.

If you want some examples of problems/abuses of the US government (solely in regards to its own borders; we're not talking about foreign policy here) we could probably be here all day. I'll just briefly talk about two such areas where the US is prone to abuse:
------
Did you know that in the US police can seize your property at virtually any time without charging you with a crime under civil forfeiture laws? In order to get your property back, you'll have to sue whichever government entity took your property (and there are no legal repercussions for a government losing a civil forfeiture case). :

https://reason.com/2022/11/07/these-sisters-tried-to-start-a-business-police-seized-their-cash-and-accused-them-of-being-drug-traffickers/

https://www.cato.org/cato-handbook-policymakers/cato-handbook-policymakers-9th-edition-2022/civil-asset-forfeiture-reform#

Note the Reason article talks about how some US state governments have reformed some of their civil forfeiture laws, but the US federal government has not undertaken any serious reform and state/local entities can work with the FBI to circumvent any state restrictions in place on civil forfeiture (the FBI even has a dedicated program to help local police/prosecutors circumvent state laws by passing the forfeiture to the FBI and then splitting the funds with them).
----------------------------
Or for example, did you know it is virtually impossible for individuals to sue a cop (or their departments) in the US who violates your civil rights or even cops who commit crimes against you under the doctrine of qualified immunity? [another one I could link an endless number of articles about]

https://www.aclu.org/news/criminal-law-reform/we-must-abolish-qualified-immunity-to-prevent-further-police-harm-especially-for-people-in-mental-health-crises

https://reason.com/2019/09/20/court-rules-fresno-police-accused-of-stealing-over-225000-protected-by-qualified-immunity-and-cant-be-sued-fourth-amendment/
----------------------------------------

My point with the original post showing the ranking of various organizations and the examples listed above is that if you think the US is the freest nation out of the bunch, that its people enjoy's the most rights - you might want to rethink your position there.

Despite all its faults I like the USA because that's the nation that invented the computer chip, the cellphone, and internet
Charles 2023 年 5 月 26 日 下午 9:32 
USA because people there have more rights and freedoms than all of the others.

Rank these English countries from best to worst. If you can explain your ranking of these countries that would be great! I wonder how people would rank these countries.
As a Scandinavian:

1# New Zealand
2# United Kingdom
3# Canada
4# Australia
5# United States

Ranked after a mix of quality of life + social-democratic rights and social-democratic values.

UK > Australia > New Zealand > Canada > US

For me the UK has the best nature and climate, has great local produce, has lots of history and a rich cultural environment. Plus it's close to mainland Europe, If I lived in the UK I would not live in a big city like London though, but closer to the countryside, or in Scotland.

Australia and New Zealand are a close 2nd and 3rd. Epic nature and great food, fun people. I could see myself living there.I did actually live in Australia for 6 years during my studies.

Canada was very interesting unttil Justine Trudeau arrived, what a lying little fascist he turned out to be. Epic nature though, nice people too.I would have a vacation there for sure.

The US ... the completely wrong culture for me, whether it's a democrat or republican state, doesn't matter. It's hard to like or live in a country if you don't like the culture there. I don't even like American music, movies and TV-shows. It's not on my list of countries to visit.

As a side-note: if I were to move to another country, it would be to another European country (including the UK, Ireland and Iceland, to me they are 100% part of Europe). When it comes to vacationing, it's Europe, Asia and certain Latin American countries that hold my interest.

All tied for 195th place

In fact, I'll make it easier.

All countries tied for 195th place. No country has utilitarian/non-violent ultimate freedom, so I'm going to have to rate every single country as last place.

They´re all equally good, as the people living there could easily move to the other one if it was much better, as they don´t have to deal with a harsh language barrier - or alternatively they could just change the circumstances. Especially in the U.S., because they have guns, so the government would always do what the people really want and nobody would get the idea to use the population to their advantage. But all in all it seems that they´re all happy enough with it - which is the reason i´d say they´re equally good, because that´s what i can objectively compare...

Landscape or weather is a matter of taste i guess - and one can´t argue about that...

None of them are English by themselves, one does have a English country in its unification.

Canada:
USA and UK are tied.
Australia.
