@@Pedro_Ferrandi Poland is a slavic country (western slavic), and they were not part of Yugoslavia. This list is so absurd on every level that it is actually incredible.
@@Pedro_Ferrandi You seem to be very confused. Also Poland is in central europe. I was just giving Poland as an example to show that Bulgaria wasn't the only slavic country that wasn't part of Yugoslavia.
This is more accurate Like those online quizes that you ask for someone to take it, and they don't know half of those countries. Right before the top 50 Pokemon cards
Yes, a very good polemic. Because it's so ridiculous that countries like Germany are rated so high and Poland so low. In Poland the quality of life is much better than in such countries. There are clean streets in Poland. This is completely different in this country. Completely trashed! Poland has a very low crime rate in comparison. In contrast, crime is extremely high in the countries west of Poland. Women are not safe on the streets because there is a lot of rape. Many people die in knife attacks. In general, violent crime is extreme. In addition, there are also terrorist attacks. There are no riots in Poland! This is also different in this country. There are always violent riots there. I can't write anything about the migrants from the Orient and Africa. Because that's why my comment will be deleted. However Poland's economy is growing, the German economy is shrinking and many companies are going bankrupt. So for all these reasons it is absurd to value countries like Germany so highly compared to Poland. Surprisingly, the comment I posted directly below the video was not deleted, even though I mentioned certain facts in the comment regarding migrants.
I live in Ireland. This completely misrepresents Ireland. We're incredibly pressured by a housing crisis, a severely inadequate health service, cost of living crisis and a government that doesn't care about any of these problems. We shouldn't even be top 15 on this list. This list must be skewed in favour of the money funelled through huge tech multinationals who set up in Dublin because of the low corporate tax rate.
Well said Tony, lots of problems here and all other countries think we are loaded due to the huge amount of money the multinational companies pass through here. Great country but it's run by clowns.
How can a European nation without housing for its own citizens be in the top 3? That's Ireland, and any housing "available" is priced obscenely high. This video is an example where the economic statistics overrule common sense.
Why is this housing crisis simultaneously occurring in so many developed Western countries at the same time? It's utterly disgraceful that we are being bled dry by global companies hoping to profit from high demand for housing.
@@thecrimsondragon9744 Right ,the housing crisis in the west is caused by bureaucrat gate keepers who limit new homes from being built in mass and lower property values for wealthy developers and for those who already own homes. At least in Canada's case where I live.
@@thecrimsondragon9744 In Ireland landlords make more money renting out properties short-term to tourists, which diminishes the stock of housing for residents. In the U.S., U.K. & elsewhere the culprits are corporations engaged in price fixing.
For anybody considering migrating to any of those countries, please be aware these aren't the only factors that determine the quality of life in a place. I'm a German that lived in Italy and has been living in Greece for many years. There are things we can't measure easily that influence how satisfied you'll be in a new country like how compatible you are with their culture or how easy it is to make friends, difficulty level of the local language, foods available, bureaucracy, how to locals view your home country, job opportunities for foreigners, ... If you like living close to the sea and are an extrovert, Austria and Switzerland will make you feel miserable. If you are a vegan, the less westernised a country is, the more difficult it is to find vegan options. Also consider that places like Germany, Sweden or Ireland might offer a good job market and strong economy, but very difficult housing situation. The weather also really is important. Not everyone can deal with cloudy, rainy weather on 250 days a year or with the winter darkness in the north.
There really are very few places that have great climate for me. Sweden (except its southern part and coastlines) is almost perfect. I prefer real winter with snow and ice for months. But the most important part is that summers don't go higher than 25° (it's rare in Sweden). Summers are ok in Ireland and as far down south as the Netherlands, but there is no winter there. Long winter nights are not a problem for me. I am more concerned with bright summer nights in the North. That is why I wouldn't choose the northern part of Sweden. Somewhere between Örebro and Östersund should be great.
Ireland is a great example of why statistics if not understood completely and in context can be deceiving. Many Irish are leaving their own country and they are certainly not happy with the way they have been managed as a whole. Many of them are actually struggling economically despite having such a high GDP per capita (distorted by big corporations based in that country). GDP wealth in Ireland doesn’t represent real wealth.
Very true. Ireland became such a "wealthy" country in the '90s and 2000s because billionaires stashed their wealth there on paper. But their money did not raise the public's lives up.
@@brianarbenz1329 Ireland has never been an offshore tax haven for high wealth individuals, the only ones we have are irish Americans buying up old estates to fulfill long held fantasies about their Irishness (and an EU passport). The don't come for taxation, as personal income tax is high. The success of the economy has been attracting business with low corporate tax rates, a large young well edcuated population and being an English speaking EU member country...
@kaixokaleabilbao2770 utter nonsense, highest ever salaries, lowest ever unemployment rates, Irish born people now emigrate out of choice because they can, not because they have to. Often just to travel, or to experience life in a warmer country, or speed their climb up the corporate ladder a smaller country doesn't provide (you get paid well, but promotion is much harder)...
Would want to place them higher too. But then again, would probably find it troublesome to place countries above under these. Think the issue is that the video creator mainly focused on welfare and quality of life in this ranking. And not too much on culture or the people. But in general I thought the list was fair. Objectively speaking, In terms of standards of living and quality of life I think it's hard for any other country to outcompete the Nordic countries or the Germanic ones(Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands et.c.)
Thank you so much! I've been looking for it so hard! Could you also put the numbering of the list in front of the countries? So it makes it even easier to oversee the ranking :D ? Thanks in advance!
@@Graph_Giraffe I wasn't, sicne this video is really random and innacurate lol BUT, it's awesome from the person that compilled this list with the timestamps ^^
I loved how he said Georgia is one of the most polluted on earth, but in the video, the Georgian lady was putting garbage in the recycling bin, after walking on the cleanest possible street.
Since nfkrz (famous russian youtuber) living in Georgia, everybody should saw that Tbilisi one of the cleanest and fresh air capitol of Europe...Everything in this video is a pure b..lt
Georgia is one of the cleanest countries in Europe. But the thing is that there are too many cars and transit trucks, some of them are old and the exhaust fumes are polluting the air. I also love that he mentioned the most homophobic country and thinks it's bad. I expected a real ranking, not according to LGBTQ.
Indeed, Georgia is one of the cleanest and safest countries in Eastern Europe. But what do you expect from a guy who described Latvia as corrupt. Even his tone is so condescending. Better take this is a form of entertainment and nothing more.
07:25 "Bulgaria is the only Slavic state never to join Yugoslavia". You mixed "Slavic" - the linguistic term, with "Balkan" - the geographic location. Bulgaria is both Balkan and Slavic, but Slavic nations cover large swaths of Europe and Asia, including Poland, Chechia, Slovakia, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia and former Yugoslavia's Balkan states.
I'm from the Netherlands and moved to southern Spain a little over a year ago.... so I moved "down the ladder" theoretically. 🤣 My life in the Netherlands was not bad at all... But I dreaded the 6 months of cold rainy "fall" weather each year and I wanted to live somewhere more relaxed, less crowded and have nice weather year-round. So far it's been great, I have no regrets. In the end it all boils down to personal preference and what you want out of life. ✌
Well, I moved from the Netherlands to Malta 23 years ago. Even further down the ladder, so to say. We have better weather than Spain. 🙂 While it can be scorching hot, especially now with global warming, the sea moderates a great deal, and we NEVER have snow. You wouldn't think of the Netherlands as crowded if you lived in Malta. The population density is about 3.5 times that of the Netherlands. Even the Randstad doesn't come close to the average population density of Malta. One thing that I did learn, though, is that the Dutch complain way too much about their own country. Everything is well organised, they have the best roads in Europe, they have the best (and most expensive) healthcare in Europe. Would I move back to the Netherlands? No. Once you've lived abroad long enough, there will come a day where you realise that you and your native country have drifted apart. You realise that you're getting older, that travel isn't as easy as it once was, and that the number of times that you'll meet your parents in person can be counted on the fingers of at most two hands. But you're not really an integral part of your adoptive country either. And that yields some very fundamental questions about what you really are. Migrating can be very enriching, but it's not to be taken lightly. And that, again, is something that many Dutch don't quite realise.
@@SeverityOne Funny you mention living in Malta, I have actually been there twice, so yes I KNOW how crowded it is haha! Also one of the reasons I wouldn't move there (also because it is a small island and I'd feel a little limited in my abilities to explore and drive long distances to other places or countries). Weather wise, well I live close to Alicante and we have probably one of the sunniest climates in Europe, so I doubt Malta will have more sunny weather 😜 But yea I agree it is a big step to migrate and it has its consequences, for sure.
@@omniradius6908 Hey, I said the best weather, not the sunniest. Although Wikipedia lists a considerably higher number of sunshine hours for Malta than Alicante. Overall, it lists Malta is being a bit warmer and sunnier than Alicante. And contrary to some random website, Wikipedia cites sources. It makes sense, though: Malta is one of the southernmost places in Europe, roughly at the same parallel as Gibraltar. Having said that, sunnier isn't necessarily better, as far as I'm concerned. You can't really go out in summer, and in fact, many people in Malta suffer from vitamin D deficiency.
Well, you literally said " We have better weather than Spain." ....read your own post 😅 But you can have your standpoint that it's better weather than here, I don't care much haha. I do agree about the summer, since summer here is also too hot and you want to be inside with the A/C on most days.
Title: All 50 Countries in EUROPE Ranked WORST to BEST "This is gonna be a shit-show" Start of video: THE US HAS FIFTY STATES!!!! "Oh, this is worse than I thought"
Brit living in Poland. Can't understand why Poland is lowly ranked. Very little crime, free education including university, free healthcare, consistently growing economy and GDP, individual wealth increasing, low inflation, low unemployment etc. clean country. Infrastructure needs improving but then that applies to every country.
Yes, the narrator didn't say anything about that when mentioning Poland, did he? In fact, I seem to remember he said Britain was the only European country with 'free healthcare' as he termed it. (Of course, it's never actually free, as the people pay for it indirectly via taxes!!) We also used to have a 'free' healthcare system in the Netherlands which was abolished in 2006 (I think) by a totally malevolent cretin named Hoogervorst who at that time was minister of Public Health. He falsely claimed that the expenses for individual citizens would plummet due to 'competition' among the healthcare insurers and 'the workings of the market' and more of the same crap. Needless to say, the expenses didn't plummet. They skyrocketed. With the result that we probably now have one of the very worst healthcare systems in Europe.
It's low ranking only because it's being compared to western Europe, so the expectations are high. Obviously one of the best post-soviet countries today
What do you expect from them, just look at their presidential candidates. One is an old man who can't even find a way out after a press conference and the other is ...well Trump lol.
Anyway, I enjoyed it very much. All the rankings line this are anyway theoretical and wrong, and in a few seconds nobody can describe any country comprehensively. As a Finn I was only disapointed to the very poor video material from our country. The only good video clip from Finland was under the Estonian section:)
@@mariuszb4919 Harvard. Yale. Standford. We put a man on the moon DECADES ago. Microsoft. Apple. RUclips (you know...the website you're on right now). I'm curious: what has YOUR country done for the world?
I get that this ranking mainly focuses on the quality of life but believe me-North Macedonia is a stunning destination for a trip, I really recommend it: Skopje, Matka Gorge and the one&only Orhid are absolutely mind-blowing 🥰
From Greek unbeatable beaches to Swedish standard and winter wonderland. From French heritage and wine to Romanian green mountains and history. Europe is the most beautiful and the best continent in the Galaxy !
While I do not underestimate the stealing, in the man's examples( except maybe France heritage) all the other examples were natural (beaches, winter,mountains) and also... Do not put all Europe in the same box, most of the countries there did not have colonies but were colonized themselves.
Thst is right but french wine is overrated. Habe you ever tried Austrian one. Every year one of the best worldwide. But Austria is too small to produce enough to export a lot of wine. So the most is drunk in Austria itself.
After 23 years of living in France, I haven't change my mind since 2002-2003 (it needs a certain time to understand better the mentality, to dig deeper into the system on social, political, structural level). I was really shocked to realise how badly it stand with their infrastructures, how low they were paid and how expensive daily life was, much 'blabla' and poor realisations in social healthcare (: the elder people, specialized schools/ living facilities for children and adults with handicap-problems or psychologic issues etc. etc...). I come from Belgium, travelled - lived and worked a lot in northern and western Europe. Most of the french people never traveled outside the country (or it was for holidays in a frenchspeaking part of the world...) and had almost no idea of living conditions ellswhere in Europe! Very strange... And that didn't change a lot! Sure, the nature is various and beautiful, but France found itself too often at the end of the qualification-list when the European Union studied the differences between all members. So, not even in the top 15 - list !!!
@@Marleen.Remeysen Exactly! Most French think their country is better than the rest, but they don't know the rest. I also know Belgium a little, I used to live close from the border.

@@goldenstar6460 Yes, to join Yugoslavia. Rome was once the greatest imperium in the world but that doesnt mean that it stays forever. Mongolia, Greece , Persia, British , Spanish... Serbia was once an imperium as well, out of those that were part of Yug.

Latvian here, the road situation is improving slowly but hopefully the government will also boost the public transport as well as cycling. Very happy about Estonia! It's a role model!
Estonian here before watching the video. I love Latvia. I've been there for 3 times. (I've been only to Latvia and Finland(2 times))😅 I didn't see anything wrong with it. I loved it.
I'll check it haha. I want to travel through the Baltic countries next yeart with my car. I was in Denmark this year for maybe 11 days, but I saw 2/3 of the whole state. Greetings from Poland!
@TheDymeR You're very welcome, justbuse the main roads - most of them have been redone on an unprecedented scale in the last decade. However take note, that Latvia is not the most sports-car-friendly and the best gems to visit are unuque hidden nature spots and preserves and countless bodies of water with some new tourist infrastructure in form of dreamy wild cottages and other places to stay. And our public transport is quite decent and widespread, at least better than you'd see anywhere in US. My city (Jurmala) has not only made it free for residents internally, they just made the rail trips to capital free too. And this old rail of ours just got the new trains last week, the first lot of entirely new trains with modern carriages since USSR times. Rail Baltic is under construction too, so soon you wouldn't need car to come here at all. We're lagging behind Estonia and Lithuania economically, because we were the most Russified and corrupt
I would rather live in Portugal, Spain, Austria, The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland and Denmark than in Ireland, Dublin is becoming a mess

He is mostly right about the top 10 or so, you'll find the same countries in most other rankings. Further down the list things become increasingly random.
I am from Iceland. I did not expect it to rank at 1st place! The ranking must be mainly based on economy, it IS a wealthy country. Love my country though, stunningly beautiful nature and very friendly, easy-going people - but the weather can be crazy.
It is very OK if people stay away - too many tourists as it is. There must be something there to attract all those tourists, BTW. 1.7 million overnight visitors in 2022.@@spaniardsrmoors6817
I would rank Switzerland as number 1. High net income, safety, education, healthcare, beauty, educated highly skilled population, system works, neutrality and autonomy.
I'm Polish. After visiting around half of those countries I still choose Poland as my favourite. 😂 Outside of Poland, I choose Italy. Especially northern part of Italy. Why? Relatively good economy, nice weather for most part of the year, I like the melody of the language, food is great. Architecture is great, you can see stunning mountains, the sea, many lakes... everything is there. Though, I have to admit that I don't like temperatures over 30 degrees so I would visit Norway, Iceland or Scotland every summer. ❤
How and since when did the continents changed? Kazakhstan, a Central Asian country and former Soviet republic, extends from the Caspian Sea in the west to the Altai Mountains at its eastern border with China and Russia. Since when is China and Russia in Europe? WTF!
@@FerihanD They never did, the border between Europe and Asia is defined by the Ural mountains, Ural river and Caucasus mountains (and a bunch of other smaller things). Which makes small parts of Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Türkiye European

White americans have european roots and they comes actually not from America but the USA is not in europe because of the teritory and because of the history of the indigeous people in America.
I mean it’s true when considering businesses. If you fail there’s a fairly robust safety net to rely on and the business taxes are fairly good. For the average worker tho, yeah no.
The Netherlands should be number 1, especially for tourists. Mostly Brits who spend every weekend drinking themselves into a stupor in Amsterdam or are completely coked up and then drown in a canal.

one has to wonder in these comparisons that Finland is mentioned as having a dark and long winter, just as if Sweden, Norway and Iceland were somehow brighter and warmer...
But they ARE warmer and brighter, lol. Most of Swedens population live south of Helsinki, and they have brighter and warmer winters. Many norwegians also live south of Helsinki, and the western coast of Norway with the second and third largest cities hardly get any snow in the winter. Both Norway and Iceland have warmer winters because of the Gulf -stream. They have a different climate than Finland, that is more affected by Sibiria.
@@okklidokkli the majority of the Finnish population lives in southern Finland. Helsinki is located approx. 200 km further north than Oslo and Stockholm. Stockholm is located east of the Scandinavian mountains on the shore of the Gulf of Finland and has roughly the same climate as Helsinki or Turku. The west coast of Norway is affected by the Gulf Stream with its føn wind, so that the warm and humid wind causes the most rain in Bergen in Europe (more than 200 rainy days per year). The same føn wind appears in Finland as dry and warm when moisture has rained on the Norwegian coast and mountains, so Norway is a wet and windy country and the amount of daylight is the same and even less in northern Norway than anywhere else in Finland.
@@peketee2278 Hi, you're incorrect in the claim that Helsinki is located 200 km further north than Oslo and Stockholm. These three capitals are basically on the same latitude (60° N). Just check the map! Coincidence?
@@peketee2278 The accurate latitudes (in decimals) are Helsinki 60.19°, Oslo 59.91° and Stockholm 59.33°, so the difference between Oslo and Helsinki is less than Oslo and Stockholm.

As a European i'v been terroryfied by the nonsense that this video holds!!! It may works for an American audience but i'm sure the majority of us Euros got it straight out of the first few seconds, so no need to watch such monumental BS!!!
As a Scandinavian it's really nice to live here. But the winter is depressing. But all the advantages of living here also makes it really hard to live any other places, I always end up coming back.
I had lived In the northwestern Spain (Galicia) in the 90s. It is used to rain 6 months straight during the winter/ spring. Summer still rained not as much along with thick Fog and wind gust. I learned to drive extreme weather conditions.
I live in western Washington state. It’s a temperate rainforest. It’s complete cloud cover for 8 months straight. The summers out here are really some of the best in the world though.
I've spent a few years both living in London and in the Canary Islands (technically Spain, but Africa from a physical geography standpoint) and I want to highlight the fact that having many more sunlight hours equals to 'living more' (at least quality time if you are an outdoor person). Being able to confortably walk on shorts or workout on the beach in Christmas time might not measured by metrics, but for many will tilt the scale on the side of Southern European countries
It's a 'murican based opinion, so yeah, it has to taken with a pinch of salt. You know how they are, that Iceland fantasm has been growing because of economic relations between the US and Iceland. Anyone serious for quality of life would not live in Iceland: it rains or freezes most of the time in the year, in the fall season it's so windy small lava stones destroy windshields, I've been there in that season, trust me, you don't want to live there at least 6 to 8 months of the year. For quality of life there's nothing better than the mediterranean countries, Switzerland and BENELUX: best climate, best economics, best heathcare systems.

As an Icelander, volcanoes are barely a problem they litterly do nothing because modern technology and we have a small population. Also cold and darkness isn’t that bad, some people like more cold and dark so that doesn’t count.
Depression is indeed an important aspect to consider when discussing Iceland and its quality of life. Several factors might contribute to higher rates of depression in Iceland: Long, Dark Winters: Due to its northern location, Iceland experiences very long and dark winters. The lack of sunlight can increase the risk of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of depression. Isolation: Iceland's geographical isolation can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation for some individuals. This can be especially true for immigrants or those living in remote areas. Climatic Conditions: The harsh climate and extreme weather conditions can impact general well-being and contribute to lower mood levels. Genetic Factors: Some studies suggest that genetic factors may play a role in the prevalence of depression in certain populations, and Iceland has a relatively homogenous population, which facilitates genetic studies. Economic and Social Factors: Economic fluctuations, social isolation, and other socio-economic factors can also contribute to the mental health of the population.
I am French, and you must wear a bulletproof vest if you go out at night in big cities. I would like to move to northern Italy for the quality of life, the food, the architecture and proximity to Switzerland, Austria and France.
Bulgaria definietly isn't the only slavic country that wasn't in Yugoslavia. Belarus, Czechia, Poland, Russia, Slovakia and Ukraine are all slavic countries and they weren't in Yugoslavia. Don't trust Chat GPT, it is usually wrong.
Kazhakstan IS NOT in Europe. Look at a map. Itson the same latitide as India. Just because it is in the European Football Union ( UEFA ) it is not a part of Europe Geographically.
Learn geography before criticizing. Kazakhstan is 15% part of Europe. If the border between Europe and Asia is drawn along the Ural Mountains and the Ural (Zhaiyk) River, the European part of Kazakhstan includes the western (right bank) parts of West Kazakhstan and Atyrau regions (including the administrative centers of the Uralsk and Atyrau regions) with a total population of slightly less than 1 million people, which is more than the population of such European countries as Iceland and Montenegro. However, more often geographers draw the border along the eastern side of the Ural Mountains and Mugodzhar, the Emba River and the northern shore of the Caspian Sea.

I hope that not everybody has this intention. Thousands (or millions) from South America marching to USA or Europe will transform gradually these countries into the same mess as you have at home.

Italy here, venice for the precision. Here it's not two different countries, it's a continuous change from north to south. We have so many dialects that to me it's culturally closer south of French than Sicily although I love the south of Italy more than my home town. Spain and Portugal are not thant far at all. I went to both last time in 2023 and it seems just matter of language but people are just exactly like me. Helthcare here is not only not bad at all and included on taxes and nobody has ever been rejected from a hospital. it's really rare that people go to privare healthcare to get a much better service. To me this hugely improve quality of life. I think on comments french is underrated and generally I do not agree with anyone of the rank given to any nation on this video but in general what I agree with is the richness of different culture within few thousand kilometers is very likely just the highst on this galaxy. Almost 25 different ways to say "glass of wine" 🥂 cheers to all and have a great 2024
Nice way to look at things. France gets trashed a lot by people, but I really love it here. And your point about easily able to visit so many other countries is excellent. I'm still not used to that.
Of course being good or bad a relative concept. I wish you could quantify your scoring based on a set of well defined categories for all of these countries for better objective comparison.
"Kazakhstan,[b] officially the Republic of Kazakhstan,[c] is a landlocked country mostly in Central Asia, with a part in Eastern Europe." - from Wikipedia
I think the low ranking of Italy is very unfair because there is so much more to life than economic prosperity. I am not italian, but I lived there (Rome) for some months about 7 years ago, and I know it shouldn't be ranked 24th.
From a pure economic standpoint, it probably would have been in the 30s. I took into account the high happiness, sunshine, and life expectancy when making the ranking, and elevated it a ton because of them
Yeah. I am not European. But if I was to live in Europe, definitely Italy or France. Good food, good weather, good culture. I dont understand the infatuation with those freezing northern countries
One of the worst rating scales I have ever seen. Northern European countries were automatically rated higher than Spain, France or Italy. I have visited most southern European countries and would definitely rate these countries higher than a country like Ireland!
Well but it's obvious that Italy have a bad ranking. We're the only country not affected by any crisis, we have a huge debt, but it's all internal. We have not many big companies but lots of medium companies. That means that in our country economic crisis have low effects. We own at the same time some of the biggest economic giants of the world. MSC, Leonardo, ENI, Fincantieri, Pittini, all those luxury brands... FIAT... We are currently spending and investing more in countries like France and America than what these countries are doing to and in Italy. We own the third largest gold reserve in the world, basically equal to that of the International Monetary Found. And this list of facts goes on and on... You know why we always have a low rank? Because: "oh! It's Italy! Pizza, spaghetti and mandolino!" "Oh! It's Italy! They lost ww2!" "Oh! We're Americans and all the ranking agencies are american and for America. There's no way we know anything, there's no way we give a better rank to a country we hate"
@@FromHeretoThere "economic point of view"? Bro you literally put the "trash is everywhere" in your list. And by the way that trash is made mostly by those fucking tourists.

As a swiss I had to laugh out loud when you mentioned, that we attacked 5 times Liechtenstein by accident. I'm not sure if it was the right number, but I know that a company with swiss soldiers was lost there, and so that's no joke. Great that you included that :D
As a German, I found it extremely funny to learn some country was (accidentally) invaded by the Swiss. Not so neutral after all... 😂 Tbh, if those lost soldiers would have thought "After all... why not?" and placed a Swiss flag, officially occupying Liechtenstein (and bringing them democracy), literally nobody would have noticed. 😂 Maybe some 5 years later, a few Austrian hikers with an old paper map would have wondered whether they missed a turn. 😂
This is very inaccurate, we have a lot of sun during the summers, so much so that it’s even during the night. Also we aren’t freezing all year round we got the Gulf Stream which makes our country hotter and summers reach to temperatures of 25 Celsius.
@@simmilimmi5383 I am sorry that you have a bad weather and lack of sun mate, but it was funny when you wrote "the temperatures reach 25 Celsius" and there is "SO MUCH sun that it's even during the night"(as if it somehow makes up for the rest of the year, and doesn't screw up your sleep during summer)
What's the point of living in country no. 1, 2 or 3 and being bored to death? The country in Europe that will have the highest life expectancy in the future is Spain. I wonder why that might be? Perhaps people here are simply happier and don't make such a big issue of it? And the happiest people live in Finland? The high suicide rate doesn't fit in with this.

Yes, a very good polemic. Because it's so ridiculous that countries like Germany are rated so high and Poland so low. In Poland the quality of life is much better than in such countries. There are clean streets in Poland. This is completely different in this country. Completely trashed! Poland has a very low crime rate in comparison. In contrast, crime is extremely high in the countries west of Poland. Women are not safe on the streets because there is a lot of rape. Many people die in knife attacks. In general, violent crime is extreme. In addition, there are also terrorist attacks. There are no riots in Poland! This is also different in this country. There are always violent riots there. I can't write anything about the migrants from the Orient and Africa. Because that's why my comment will be deleted. However Poland's economy is growing, the German economy is shrinking and many companies are going bankrupt. So for all these reasons it is absurd to value countries like Germany so highly compared to Poland.
Surprisingly, the comment I posted directly below the video was not deleted, even though I mentioned certain facts in the comment regarding migrants.

I live in Ireland. This completely misrepresents Ireland. We're incredibly pressured by a housing crisis, a severely inadequate health service, cost of living crisis and a government that doesn't care about any of these problems. We shouldn't even be top 15 on this list. This list must be skewed in favour of the money funelled through huge tech multinationals who set up in Dublin because of the low corporate tax rate.
At least you don’t live in Norn Iron.

@@frankiewilde7791 yes just yes
How can a European nation without housing for its own citizens be in the top 3? That's Ireland, and any housing "available" is priced obscenely high. This video is an example where the economic statistics overrule common sense.
Yes, this video was rushed and the analysis is shallow. But I think the ranking is mostly correct.
It seems like these statistics show only economy and culture things, but try to avoid mentioning real problems these countries are facing
Why is this housing crisis simultaneously occurring in so many developed Western countries at the same time? It's utterly disgraceful that we are being bled dry by global companies hoping to profit from high demand for housing.
@@thecrimsondragon9744 Right ,the housing crisis in the west is caused by bureaucrat gate keepers who limit new homes from being built in mass and lower property values for wealthy developers and for those who already own homes. At least in Canada's case where I live.
@@thecrimsondragon9744 In Ireland landlords make more money renting out properties short-term to tourists, which diminishes the stock of housing for residents. In the U.S., U.K. & elsewhere the culprits are corporations engaged in price fixing.

Wow, this video was so insightful. Helped me so much to make an informed opinion about Poland (number 25 for anyone interested)
For anybody considering migrating to any of those countries, please be aware these aren't the only factors that determine the quality of life in a place.
I'm a German that lived in Italy and has been living in Greece for many years.
There are things we can't measure easily that influence how satisfied you'll be in a new country like how compatible you are with their culture or how easy it is to make friends, difficulty level of the local language, foods available, bureaucracy, how to locals view your home country, job opportunities for foreigners, ...
If you like living close to the sea and are an extrovert, Austria and Switzerland will make you feel miserable. If you are a vegan, the less westernised a country is, the more difficult it is to find vegan options.
Also consider that places like Germany, Sweden or Ireland might offer a good job market and strong economy, but very difficult housing situation.
The weather also really is important. Not everyone can deal with cloudy, rainy weather on 250 days a year or with the winter darkness in the north.
You’re really right👍
wasn't that what killed Descartes? the dreary winter north
It’s true, I’ve been yelled a lot at in Switzerland just for not throwing the trash properly.
There really are very few places that have great climate for me. Sweden (except its southern part and coastlines) is almost perfect.
I prefer real winter with snow and ice for months. But the most important part is that summers don't go higher than 25° (it's rare in Sweden). Summers are ok in Ireland and as far down south as the Netherlands, but there is no winter there.
Long winter nights are not a problem for me. I am more concerned with bright summer nights in the North. That is why I wouldn't choose the northern part of Sweden. Somewhere between Örebro and Östersund should be great.
@@stormmaster108 I would recommend Denmark over Sweden due to the toxic culture of Sweden. They are basically the California of Scandinavia
Ireland is a great example of why statistics if not understood completely and in context can be deceiving. Many Irish are leaving their own country and they are certainly not happy with the way they have been managed as a whole. Many of them are actually struggling economically despite having such a high GDP per capita (distorted by big corporations based in that country). GDP wealth in Ireland doesn’t represent real wealth.
Very true. Ireland became such a "wealthy" country in the '90s and 2000s because billionaires stashed their wealth there on paper. But their money did not raise the public's lives up.
The whole show was a masterpiece of poop.
@@brianarbenz1329 Ireland has never been an offshore tax haven for high wealth individuals, the only ones we have are irish Americans buying up old estates to fulfill long held fantasies about their Irishness (and an EU passport). The don't come for taxation, as personal income tax is high. The success of the economy has been attracting business with low corporate tax rates, a large young well edcuated population and being an English speaking EU member country...
@kaixokaleabilbao2770 utter nonsense, highest ever salaries, lowest ever unemployment rates, Irish born people now emigrate out of choice because they can, not because they have to. Often just to travel, or to experience life in a warmer country, or speed their climb up the corporate ladder a smaller country doesn't provide (you get paid well, but promotion is much harder)...
And it's a shithole
This list is more of a parody than an actually valid ranking of worst to best.
This is some Redditor sh.t
Why? I’m a German-Brit living in Switzerland and it’s true what he said, and the ranking between these countries is also true…

Italy at number 24 should be considered a crime against Humanity. Portugal at 19, Spain at 17, France at 16 are also nonsense.
Just before check republic lol
Croatia 30 😮
Yeah, France should be in 50.
Would want to place them higher too.
But then again, would probably find it troublesome to place countries above under these.
Think the issue is that the video creator mainly focused on welfare and quality of life in this ranking.
And not too much on culture or the people. But in general I thought the list was fair.
Objectively speaking, In terms of standards of living and quality of life I think it's hard for any other country to outcompete the Nordic countries or the Germanic ones(Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands et.c.)

I'm from the Netherlands and moved to southern Spain a little over a year ago.... so I moved "down the ladder" theoretically. 🤣 My life in the Netherlands was not bad at all... But I dreaded the 6 months of cold rainy "fall" weather each year and I wanted to live somewhere more relaxed, less crowded and have nice weather year-round. So far it's been great, I have no regrets. In the end it all boils down to personal preference and what you want out of life. ✌
Well, I moved from the Netherlands to Malta 23 years ago. Even further down the ladder, so to say.
We have better weather than Spain. 🙂 While it can be scorching hot, especially now with global warming, the sea moderates a great deal, and we NEVER have snow.
You wouldn't think of the Netherlands as crowded if you lived in Malta. The population density is about 3.5 times that of the Netherlands. Even the Randstad doesn't come close to the average population density of Malta.
One thing that I did learn, though, is that the Dutch complain way too much about their own country. Everything is well organised, they have the best roads in Europe, they have the best (and most expensive) healthcare in Europe.
Would I move back to the Netherlands? No. Once you've lived abroad long enough, there will come a day where you realise that you and your native country have drifted apart. You realise that you're getting older, that travel isn't as easy as it once was, and that the number of times that you'll meet your parents in person can be counted on the fingers of at most two hands. But you're not really an integral part of your adoptive country either. And that yields some very fundamental questions about what you really are.
Migrating can be very enriching, but it's not to be taken lightly. And that, again, is something that many Dutch don't quite realise.
@@SeverityOne Funny you mention living in Malta, I have actually been there twice, so yes I KNOW how crowded it is haha!
Also one of the reasons I wouldn't move there (also because it is a small island and I'd feel a little limited in my abilities to explore and drive long distances to other places or countries).
Weather wise, well I live close to Alicante and we have probably one of the sunniest climates in Europe, so I doubt Malta will have more sunny weather 😜
But yea I agree it is a big step to migrate and it has its consequences, for sure.
@@omniradius6908 Hey, I said the best weather, not the sunniest. Although Wikipedia lists a considerably higher number of sunshine hours for Malta than Alicante. Overall, it lists Malta is being a bit warmer and sunnier than Alicante. And contrary to some random website, Wikipedia cites sources.
It makes sense, though: Malta is one of the southernmost places in Europe, roughly at the same parallel as Gibraltar.
Having said that, sunnier isn't necessarily better, as far as I'm concerned. You can't really go out in summer, and in fact, many people in Malta suffer from vitamin D deficiency.
Well, you literally said "
We have better weather than Spain." ....read your own post 😅 But you can have your standpoint that it's better weather than here, I don't care much haha. I do agree about the summer, since summer here is also too hot and you want to be inside with the A/C on most days.
@@omniradius6908 Well, for what it's worth, today is drab and overcast, and it looks like it might rain. Almost like the Netherlands in summer. 😀

Brit living in Poland. Can't understand why Poland is lowly ranked. Very little crime, free education including university, free healthcare, consistently growing economy and GDP, individual wealth increasing, low inflation, low unemployment etc. clean country. Infrastructure needs improving but then that applies to every country.
Yes, the narrator didn't say anything about that when mentioning Poland, did he? In fact, I seem to remember he said Britain was the only European country with 'free healthcare' as he termed it. (Of course, it's never actually free, as the people pay for it indirectly via taxes!!) We also used to have a 'free' healthcare system in the Netherlands which was abolished in 2006 (I think) by a totally malevolent cretin named Hoogervorst who at that time was minister of Public Health. He falsely claimed that the expenses for individual citizens would plummet due to 'competition' among the healthcare insurers and 'the workings of the market' and more of the same crap. Needless to say, the expenses didn't plummet. They skyrocketed. With the result that we probably now have one of the very worst healthcare systems in Europe.
Exactly I was thinking the same 😮 , he said Poland is the most average country in Europe 😂, regards mate
The IQ behind this subjective rank, out of any senseful criterias, gravitating to zero...
It's low ranking only because it's being compared to western Europe, so the expectations are high. Obviously one of the best post-soviet countries today

A good comment with appropriate criticism! Yes ridiculous like it is ridiculous that countries like Germany are rated so high and Poland so low. In Poland the quality of life is much better than in such countries. There are clean streets in Poland. This is completely different in this country. Completely trashed! Poland has a very low crime rate in comparison. In contrast, crime is extremely high in the countries west of Poland. Women are not safe on the streets because there is a lot of rape. Many people die in knife attacks. In general, violent crime is extreme. In addition, there are also terrorist attacks. There are no riots in Poland! This is also different in this country. There are always violent riots there. I can't write anything about the migrants from the Orient and Africa. Because that's why my comment will be deleted. However Poland's economy is growing, the German economy is shrinking and many companies are going bankrupt. So for all these reasons it is absurd to value countries like Germany so highly compared to Poland.
Surprisingly, the comment I posted directly below the video was not deleted, even though I mentioned certain facts in the comment regarding migrants.

Bulgaria is not the only slavic country that never joined Yugoslavia but only south slavic country who never joined. Poland, Slovakia , Czechia , are also slavic countries, but western slavic . Eastern slavic were part of soviet union.

@@goldenstar6460 Yes, to join Yugoslavia. Rome was once the greatest imperium in the world but that doesnt mean that it stays forever. Mongolia, Greece , Persia, British , Spanish... Serbia was once an imperium as well, out of those that were part of Yug. And Bulgaria didnt want to join because they didnt get the condition they asked , Macedonia to join bulgarian territory (that was the reason of the Second Balkan War in 1913 ,few years before those talks with Bulgaria) and that way now in 2024 North Macedonia wouldnt even exist as a country , it would be part of Bulgaria after all those separations that happened in the Balkans later on.
@David-kf9no Exactly. North Macedonia was made up by the Comintern and Tito's Yugoslavia right after the Second World War. It exists as a separate country since 1991. (Youngest state in Europe after Kosovo.)

@TheDymeR You're very welcome, justbuse the main roads - most of them have been redone on an unprecedented scale in the last decade. However take note, that Latvia is not the most sports-car-friendly and the best gems to visit are unuque hidden nature spots and preserves and countless bodies of water with some new tourist infrastructure in form of dreamy wild cottages and other places to stay. And our public transport is quite decent and widespread, at least better than you'd see anywhere in US. My city (Jurmala) has not only made it free for residents internally, they just made the rail trips to capital free too. And this old rail of ours just got the new trains last week, the first lot of entirely new trains with modern carriages since USSR times. Rail Baltic is under construction too, so soon you wouldn't need car to come here at all. We're lagging behind Estonia and Lithuania economically, because we were the most Russified and corrupt

one has to wonder in these comparisons that Finland is mentioned as having a dark and long winter, just as if Sweden, Norway and Iceland were somehow brighter and warmer...
But they ARE warmer and brighter, lol. Most of Swedens population live south of Helsinki, and they have brighter and warmer winters. Many norwegians also live south of Helsinki, and the western coast of Norway with the second and third largest cities hardly get any snow in the winter. Both Norway and Iceland have warmer winters because of the Gulf -stream. They have a different climate than Finland, that is more affected by Sibiria.
@@okklidokkli the majority of the Finnish population lives in southern Finland. Helsinki is located approx. 200 km further north than Oslo and Stockholm. Stockholm is located east of the Scandinavian mountains on the shore of the Gulf of Finland and has roughly the same climate as Helsinki or Turku. The west coast of Norway is affected by the Gulf Stream with its føn wind, so that the warm and humid wind causes the most rain in Bergen in Europe (more than 200 rainy days per year). The same føn wind appears in Finland as dry and warm when moisture has rained on the Norwegian coast and mountains, so Norway is a wet and windy country and the amount of daylight is the same and even less in northern Norway than anywhere else in Finland.
@@peketee2278 Hi, you're incorrect in the claim that Helsinki is located 200 km further north than Oslo and Stockholm. These three capitals are basically on the same latitude (60° N). Just check the map! Coincidence?
@@peketee2278 The accurate latitudes (in decimals) are Helsinki 60.19°, Oslo 59.91° and Stockholm 59.33°, so the difference between Oslo and Helsinki is less than Oslo and Stockholm. Each degree of latitude is approx 111 km apart, so Helsinki is 95 km further north than Stockholm and 31 km further north than Oslo.

As a Scandinavian it's really nice to live here. But the winter is depressing. But all the advantages of living here also makes it really hard to live any other places, I always end up coming back.
I had lived In the northwestern Spain (Galicia) in the 90s. It is used to rain 6 months straight during the winter/ spring. Summer still rained not as much along with thick Fog and wind gust. I learned to drive extreme weather conditions.
I live in western Washington state. It’s a temperate rainforest. It’s complete cloud cover for 8 months straight. The summers out here are really some of the best in the world though.
I've spent a few years both living in London and in the Canary Islands (technically Spain, but Africa from a physical geography standpoint) and I want to highlight the fact that having many more sunlight hours equals to 'living more' (at least quality time if you are an outdoor person). Being able to confortably walk on shorts or workout on the beach in Christmas time might not measured by metrics, but for many will tilt the scale on the side of Southern European countries

It's a 'murican based opinion, so yeah, it has to taken with a pinch of salt. You know how they are, that Iceland fantasm has been growing because of economic relations between the US and Iceland. Anyone serious for quality of life would not live in Iceland: it rains or freezes most of the time in the year, in the fall season it's so windy small lava stones destroy windshields, I've been there in that season, trust me, you don't want to live there at least 6 to 8 months of the year. For quality of life there's nothing better than the mediterranean countries, Switzerland and BENELUX: best climate, best economics, best heathcare systems.

In ranking Iceland #1, he is skipping aspects such as the climate (cold, dark), economy (steep prices) and volcanic activity. After all, why doesn’t this supposedly #1 country have a problem with immigration?
Maybe because it's a rock in the middle of the Atlantic?
Because they are sensible enough not to let them in.
@@002lisamarie They do let them in, in 2023 15.2% of their population was immigrants. and now? it's struggling more with people emigrating, over immigrating. Though they are strict to not just let "anyone" in ofc.
As an Icelander, volcanoes are barely a problem they litterly do nothing because modern technology and we have a small population. Also cold and darkness isn’t that bad, some people like more cold and dark so that doesn’t count.
@@pigymc1695 Exactly. Controlled immigration is the answer.
"4 or 5 seconds ago most of you had never even heard of Montenegro". Jesus wept..
Depression is indeed an important aspect to consider when discussing Iceland and its quality of life. Several factors might contribute to higher rates of depression in Iceland:
Long, Dark Winters: Due to its northern location, Iceland experiences very long and dark winters. The lack of sunlight can increase the risk of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of depression.
Isolation: Iceland's geographical isolation can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation for some individuals. This can be especially true for immigrants or those living in remote areas.
Climatic Conditions: The harsh climate and extreme weather conditions can impact general well-being and contribute to lower mood levels.
Genetic Factors: Some studies suggest that genetic factors may play a role in the prevalence of depression in certain populations, and Iceland has a relatively homogenous population, which facilitates genetic studies.
Economic and Social Factors: Economic fluctuations, social isolation, and other socio-economic factors can also contribute to the mental health of the population.

Learn geography before criticizing. Kazakhstan is 15% part of Europe. If the border between Europe and Asia is drawn along the Ural Mountains and the Ural (Zhaiyk) River, the European part of Kazakhstan includes the western (right bank) parts of West Kazakhstan and Atyrau regions (including the administrative centers of the Uralsk and Atyrau regions) with a total population of slightly less than 1 million people, which is more than the population of such European countries as Iceland and Montenegro.

Underrated comment
Italy here, venice for the precision. Here it's not two different countries, it's a continuous change from north to south. We have so many dialects that to me it's culturally closer south of French than Sicily although I love the south of Italy more than my home town. Spain and Portugal are not thant far at all. I went to both last time in 2023 and it seems just matter of language but people are just exactly like me. Helthcare here is not only not bad at all and included on taxes and nobody has ever been rejected from a hospital. it's really rare that people go to privare healthcare to get a much better service. To me this hugely improve quality of life.
I think on comments french is underrated and generally I do not agree with anyone of the rank given to any nation on this video but in general what I agree with is the richness of different culture within few thousand kilometers is very likely just the highst on this galaxy. Almost 25 different ways to say "glass of wine" 🥂 cheers to all and have a great 2024

Nice way to look at things. France gets trashed a lot by people, but I really love it here. And your point about easily able to visit so many other countries is excellent. I'm still not used to that.

I love it how Iceland is at number one - 10 months a year is freezing and there's no sun lol
That's true 😂😂😂😂😂
This is very inaccurate, we have a lot of sun during the summers, so much so that it’s even during the night. Also we aren’t freezing all year round we got the Gulf Stream which makes our country hotter and summers reach to temperatures of 25 Celsius.

@@simmilimmi5383 I am sorry that you have a bad weather and lack of sun mate, but it was funny when you wrote "the temperatures reach 25 Celsius" and there is "SO MUCH sun that it's even during the night"(as if it somehow makes up for the rest of the year, and doesn't screw up your sleep during summer)
"The UK has great free healthcare"😂
true
@@TinaW-ti7xu Not free paid by National Insurance and not great.
Free healthcare in Uk = long wait times, impossible to get to a doctor, likely going to die before reaching a hospital.
BS
Rating is pretty good.
According to this American Kasachstan is a European country. 😂😂😂 So please, do not take this seriously. It's entertainment.
it is, you genius
What's the point of living in country no. 1, 2 or 3 and being bored to death? The country in Europe that will have the highest life expectancy in the future is Spain. I wonder why that might be? Perhaps people here are simply happier and don't make such a big issue of it? And the happiest people live in Finland? The high suicide rate doesn't fit in with this.
Kazakhstan has never been considered as a european country

Not sure where you got your list, but some of the countries you mentioned are in Asia, not Europe?
I didn't realise that the uk is the only European country where it rains.
Yes your are 100% accurate pointing out this tired cliche. It rains a lot in the West but where most people live in the South East it’s actually dry (London has half the rainfall of New York or Rome)
United Kingdom isn't "A" Country but an Umberella State comprising of four Countries One of which, Namely Scotland is one of the oldest Countries in Europe
@@lespaddick6248 yes a nation not a country but to most outsiders they don’t really think that deeply about its constituent parts
Guess what?.....it's raining there now. 🤣👍
@@AUmarcus In soo many ways 🤣
Left England 12 years ago to live in Bulgaria. Have no intention of ever going back. Great quality of life. Need to do your homework about Bulgaria.
I'm glad you like it here. This whole video is twists, spins, ommissions, opinions, and some statistical figures to glue all this together... 🙄
@@Zombie_Apocalypseall the countries are cool but it’s a list and one of them is going to have to be ranked low 😂
@@antoniomenjivar6556 What you're saying is true. And doesn't change what i'm saying.
While this is an inaccurate video, how can you say Bulgarians have a better life than Brits. I witnessed some terrible poverty when I was there. And Sofia was dreadful. Some of the most neglected children I’ve ever seen.
He need to do his homework with all the countries he mentioned. Looks this is just a n another typical american zero brain project...
