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

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

Option 3: Oh Canada!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Wow, what happened Canada? Literally not a single green! Seriously?

Option 4: The Motherland, United Kingdom!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
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.

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? :P

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

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

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

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.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

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.

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.

More specifics from Afghanistan and North Korea:
Quote from: If North Korea were your home instead of Afghanistan you would...

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.
