[QUOTE=Firewarrior;40724997]The richest among the 50 largest economies. So they aren't really the richest, there are richer countries than those, for example Luxembourg or Liechenstein, they are just smaller.[/QUOTE] But that'd be ridiculous cause then you have a 1-man bill gates nation
Scandinavia rules. Yeah.
[QUOTE=blehblehbleh;40730391]Wealth distribution is far more even in Norway than in the US. Can't speak for the other nations though.[/QUOTE] It may have something to do with being a socialistic country, where instead of focusing on industries and corporations, most of the money goes to supporting the needs and services of the people.
Wooooo we're number 3 [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34159811/pics/wedidit.gif[/img]
Well then, I am (not) really surprised that Disneyland with the Death Penalty rated so high up.
The only problem with the US per capita GDP is just how high the income inequality is. Still, nice to know thatif it were spread equally everyone would be earning enough to live pretty well off of.
Funny to live in the world's second most richest country when my whole family is poor as shit
[QUOTE=Ldesu;40736648]Funny to live in the world's second most richest country when my whole family is poor as shit[/QUOTE] You're still lucky because unlike oil nations like Qatar, Norway put its oil money into welfare spending, so you get education, food, a home and a little bit of cash even if you are poor as all hell. (Even though NAV sucks)

[QUOTE=Torjuz;40737823]Ehm... Yeah... Good for you guys...[/QUOTE] I imagine Switzerland and Norway have the least Income inequality. Per capita means little when you have billionaires living it off of the backs of Immigrant workers who make pennies like in the UAE or Singapore.
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;40730987]Norway has the best standard of living iirc. I mean, in Denmark and Norway you literally get paid to take an education, so you don't have to work while you study. The standard of education is higher, and so are the taxes.[/QUOTE] Don't you also have to pay back that money later?
I always thought Singapore was one of those poopy Asian countries where everyone worked in sweatshops Shows what I know
[QUOTE=gokiyono;40749962]Don't you also have to pay back that money later?[/QUOTE] They use oil tariffs to pay for alot of their social programs and government establishments. Something my country should seriously consider.
Singapore should not be on this fucking list. Do you guys know how expensive housing is? Buying a car here can cost up to over US$200,000 per vehicle due to so shit ass mother fucking paper that we Singaporeans need to buy. To all of you out there, DO NOT MOVE TO SINGAPORE. The food,water, electricity and health care here are expensive, the taxes here are higher than a stoner on drugs, Your freedom of speech is limited to only praising the government and the citizens are given 2nd class treatment including Permanent Residents.
