I don't believe the is possible. Thanks for trying.
So with no clear definition, any country can be the greatest.
I don’t see the point of the thread.

Those same Nazis started out as ‘people who other people disagreed with’ before they evolved into a national party of psychopathic killers who set the world on fire. I can’t help but wonder what your grandfathers (or mine) would have to say to people who try and excuse the latest fascist incarnation as just a group of people exercising their freedom of speech. I think their response would be less than kind.
No that is bad, but it's not like we can brag about how we treat refugees.Well, the Australia’s asylum policies—which see asylum-seekers languishing for years under inhumane conditions in offshore detention centers in Papua New Guinea and Nauru. That is definitely not better.
5% is not almost twice of 3.8%The unemployment rate is almost twice that of the US.
Perth is 5 times the size of Tulsa. If you compare Perth to Houston which is a lot closer in population, Perth ends up being about 1% cheaper then Houston.Cost of living is 8% higher. Perth compared to Tulsa
True, but they also have more in the way of social services, including Medicare.Personal income tax is higher
True, Australia does not have a bill of rights, which would be nice. However, the High Court has recognized several implicit rights, including something roughly equivalent to our freedom of expression. I'm ok with that.Australia does not have explicit freedom of speech in any constitutional or statutory declaration of rights,
Not a bad thing as far as I'm concerned.There are no gun rights
Of course they would. They would be knocking out the far right as well as the far left.
If your grandfathers and mine only knew, they would never have fought that war to begin with...

Denmark, I've heard is the happiest country on earth. I popped over there a couple of years ago and spent a week in wonderful Copenhagen. The weather was crap, but I had great fun on the rollercoaster in their amusement park.

USA! USA! USA!I think its purpose is to adamantly insist that America is the greatest nation on the face of the Earth, despite all the documented statistics, actual facts, and other evidence that clearly proves otherwise.
America has the great lobbyists in the world for private prison corporations and guard security unions in those prisons.
Great Britain. Used to be 'Great' but not any more!
Great Britain isn't strictly a country, it's a geomorphological term rather than a gropolitical one - it's the biggest island off of the Brittany peninsula in what is now France.
