Fair enough though, I just wanted to point out what I personally feel is a misuse of the word hate by yourself and Chrys. Hatred implies that Mao or Castro, say, came to your house, murdered your family, poisoned your dog, and burned down your town. There probably are people that do hate Mao or Castro, but I don't think they post here because China heavily restricts internet access (I don't know about Cuba). *Cheers for Peacefire.org*

and, to be honest, I don't think that their economy is good, just because it is the fastest growing, most of their growth is due to exploitation of the working classes by Big Business in America, UK and Japan. |

Ireland is an interesting entry on that list. Although i has undergone tremendous improvements over the last 10 years. For example, Dublins public transport is by the far the best ive seen!
Is Norway first?

Is it really wrong to not be a fan of a high standard of living though? Just to play the devil's advocate, the USA is on the list. I don't think it's morally wrong to favour right-of-centre policies, but this might lead to a lower standard of living (than having socialist policies) in the same country. Also take "standard of living" - this term could be up for debate too.

Tuition is free here. Free! The Gross Domestic Product is not the be-all-end-all of economics, but that's just my opinion.
