Most and least moral countries in the world

What is the Best Country in the World? An Index of Morality, Conscience and Good Life

"Which countries set the best examples to the rest of the world? Which ones would we do best to copy, to emulate and to admire for their foresight, hard work and long-term conscience? Which countries would have humanity survive gleaming into a clean, happy, bright future?

And who are tardy on humanitarian issues, science or development? Which nations and cultures cling to barbarian ethics on gender and sexual equality? Who is holding us back?

I compile relevant statistics on a wide range of issues and put them into a database-driven system, which calculates points per country. The country's overall score is an average of all the datasets that a country appears in. So, countries don't get penalized for lack of data about them. I've arrived at a shortlist of countries that beat all the others. Be the best!

Amazing!! Australia and New Zealand reared their heads and sailed to Europe. Who'da thunk it?
They must have sailed around Cape Horn. No way Australia makes it through the Panama Canal.

 

[Anathema]

Hmm...... Interesting. Not that I give a fuck about any other country in the world but at least it was good for a laugh or two.

 

[Pogo]

Interesting that the "less religious" list seems to correlate with the more "peaceful", wealthier, stabler places while "more religious" seems to correlate with poverty, civil unrest, and dearth of hope.

Of course this begs the question of how "religious" is defined. If one presumes they mean how much one follows an organized religion, what the question may ultimately measure might be "degree of independent thought".

Delta: "Which countries set the best examples to the rest of the world?

"Best example" applying a very subjective standard.

My attitude if it makes the country happy why not as long as there is no harm done due to religious persecution etc

So basically you are saying rich white people are great and poor black people are bad. Rich white liberals are so very very wonderful as they exploit poor people of color and bomb helpless civilians in Muslim countries.

I made a bet with myself before clicking the link that this would be defining moral as "greatest distribution of leftist ideals". Imagine my total lack of surprise when I won that bet.

Why do you feel imperialism, arms dealing, and exploitation by rich white people in the wealthy countries is irrelevant? Are imperialism, arms dealing, and exploitation moral?

YOU brought all that shit in. The OP didn't bring in value judgments about who's "great" or "wonderful" or "bad". Those are all part of your strawman, emotional slugs you dropped into the coin slot.

You could have had a point about how those countries at the top of the list got that way but you used a strawman to get there. Except that out of that top ten list you're stuck with those great imperial powers like the Icelands and the New Zealands and the Luxembourgs -- nations that pretty much leave the rest of the world the fuck alone.

Q - what would you call the United States if you removed the endless MIC imperialist warmongering?
A - "Canada"

 

[September]

Morality is entirely subjective so there is really no such thing as "the world's most moral countries".

Remind me -- when did Canada invade Afghanistan?

When was the last time Iceland, New Zealand, Finland or Denmark went around colonizing?

See post #18.

Denmark and Iceland are part of NATO. They don't contribute a lot to NATO wars, but they are tiny countries. All the countries you mentioned are wealthy and connected with the global economy which is rife with inequality.
