Korea is the 15th best country in the world

According to Newsweek. The US is 11th.

I'll take it.

Ranking of "Best" Countries

This list bothers me slightly because Finland comes in at #1.

Fine, it is the best country to live in (supposedly).

However I feel like they should take 'contribution to the rest of the world' into account if you are going to say that Finland is the 'best country' in the world. The only thing they have contributed to the rest of the world has been Nokia phones (which haven't been used by non-Finnish people since 2001) and lingonberries.

In the past 30 years the U.S has given the world the internet (no big deal), Apple products, GPS, and Prozac.

South Korea in the past 30 years has contributed high quality LCD TVs, MP3 players (we invented them in 1998), cell phones, and Hyundais (they come with a 10 year warranty, come on son).

According to Newsweek, China is only one spot worse than Thailand (!?) and two spots better than...Kazakhstan.

Some Chinese people are going to be pissed.
