So this is an interesting site that kind of works with this thread. You can use it to compare various statistics from different countries. Time to find out where I'm moving to!

Going from Australia~

Option 1: US of A

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

have 63.16% more chance of being unemployed
spend 2.2 times more money on health care
experience 47.54% more of a class divide
consume 41.8% more oil
have 31.48% more chance of dying in infancy
use 20.99% more electricity
be 3 times more likely to have HIV/AIDS
make 19.59% more money
die 3.48 years sooner
have 11.62% more babies

Well fuck that! Ok the +20% income is nice, but it doesn't really seem worth it.

Option 2: The great rival, New Zealand!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

make 29.64% less money
have 28.07% more chance of being unemployed
experience 18.69% more of a class divide
consume 18.24% less oil
have 11.46% more babies
spend 21.51% less money on health care
use 10.56% less electricity
die 1.24 years sooner
be 50% less likely to have HIV/AIDS
have 3.85% more chance of dying in infancy

Better than the US, but I don't like the employment+income figures. Maybe pile.

Option 3: Oh Canada!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

use 53.9% more electricity
consume 51.03% more oil
have 49.12% more chance of being unemployed
have 17.03% less babies
be 2 times more likely to have HIV/AIDS
spend 17.76% more money on health care
have 6.85% more chance of dying in infancy
experience 5.25% more of a class divide
die 0.42999999999999 years sooner
make 1.03% less money

Wow, what happened Canada? Literally not a single green! Seriously?

Option 4: The Motherland, United Kingdom!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

use 45.31% less electricity
have 40.35% more chance of being unemployed
consume 37.05% less oil
have 13.88% less babies
die 2.56 years sooner
experience 11.48% more of a class divide
make 9.28% less money
spend 9.75% less money on health care
have 2.36% more chance of dying in infancy

Not the best. Less money on healthcare is good, not that it seems to help the life expectancy.


Ok so I was kind of hoping Canada would be a lot better than it was, as I was thinking of living there one day. Is there no nation that can top AUS, and speaks English? Crap, guess I'm stuck here for now with the wildlife.

[werty892]

If The United States were your home instead of The United States you would...

I broke it. But In other news, AUS is pretty great.

Also, everywhere has less AIDS then the united states. Man, I thought you could get help here, what the hell?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Aside from the rampant censorship, yes, AUS is decent.

[Max White]

Fuck Australia! I want to trade up!
I hear a lot of good things from Northen Europe...

Denmark!

use 39.73% less electricity
have 24.56% more chance at being employed
consume 22.69% less oil
have 16.06% less babies
die 3.25 years sooner
spend 20.97% more money on health care
have 8.14% less chance of dying in infancy
make 7.22% less money
experience 4.92% less of a class divide

Really? Come on, there has to be a place on earth with a greater life expectancy somewhere.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Japan does.

[PanH]

Not that much more, suprisingly. I think it's something like 6 months.

[Max White]

Lets see Japan...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

have 40.26% less chance of dying in infancy
have 40.19% less babies
use 29.26% less electricity
experience 24.92% more of a class divide
make 15.98% less money
consume 14.87% less oil
spend 17.25% less money on health care
be 50% less likely to have HIV/AIDS
live 0.45 years longer
have 1.75% more chance at being employed

That actually looks pretty good! Shame I can't speak Japanese...

[PanH]

Try North Korea ! 99% less oil, 99% less electricity, 99% less healthcare cost ! You just make 94% less money, and die 17 years before !

[Lectorog]

That actually looks pretty good! Shame I can't speak Japanese...

Good news: The Japanese speak English.
Seriously, though, you could move there and then take lessons in Japanese, rather than the other way around.

[PanH]

That actually looks pretty good! Shame I can't speak Japanese...

Good news: The Japanese speak English.

More or less ...

...Daaaaamn.

One thing to consider when comparing large countries (e.g, USA, Canada, Russia, China, Australia): The average conditions of larger countries may not compare to local conditions. Local conditions may differ significantly.

In other news, based on many comparisons, apparently the average for the USA is kinda terrible compared to europe aside from money and sometimes some other things.

[misko27]

I am biased agains this since it makes living in Kazakhistan sound much better then it actually it. It has mostly greens, but the red totally sink it "Die 10 years earlier" and "4.1 times the chance of dying in infancy" and "make 77% less money" It's the small things that matter.


Also, Afghanistan, man oh man. Just Do it for yourself guys, trust me.

EDIT: My life average decreases LESS with North Korea then Afghanistan. By 300%. Holy shit.

[Tarran]

Well, I don't know much about Afghanistan or North Korea, but I'm pretty sure Afghanistan is massively less stabilized than North Korea. And I'm pretty sure the fact that people are very likely still shooting each-other in there thanks to us Americans doesn't help.

[RedWarrior0]

More specifics from Afghanistan and North Korea:

use 96.8 times more electricity:
The per capita consumption of electricity in North Korea is 769kWh while in Afghanistan it is 8kWh.

consume 4.1 times more oil
North Korea consumes 0.0295 gallons of oil per day per capita while Afghanistan consumes 0.0072

live 19.48 years longer
The life expectancy at birth in North Korea is 64.13 while in Afghanistan it is 44.65.

make 2.4 times more money
The GDP per capita in North Korea is $1,900 while in Afghanistan it is $800

have 66.9% less chance of dying in infancy
The number of deaths of infants under one year old in a given year per 1,000 live births in North Korea is 50.15 while in Afghanistan it is 151.50.

spend 98.9% less money on health care
Per capita public and private health expenditures combined in North Korea are $1 USD while Afghanistan spends $91 USD

So, the problem is that at low numbers a small change (Such as $800 GDP per capita vs $1900) is a large percentage. It also only has quantifiable, objective things included, which negate personal freedoms and happiness respectively.
