    Poor people shouldn't count. If your quality of life is good when you're poor that is irrelevant.

    Japan belongs on this list. Maybe it's not the most tolerant society out there, but nearly everyone is skinny, they've got heated toilet seats in public restrooms, and the best assortment of cold drinks on every street corner. You could leave your wallet on the busiest Tokyo street and come back 2 hours later and there's a good chance it would still be there, or someone would turn it in. The streets are some of the cleanest in the world. I saw someone drop a piece of garbage on the sidewalk and someone else walking the other way picked it up and tossed it in the nearest trash bin. They take their hot tubbing seriously too. That shit is good for your health.

    is it what i think it is?

    Why do I get the feeling this thread is a setup and a socialism-in-Scandinavia argument is incoming?

    Being the most homogenous large nation on Earth does wonders for social cohesion. They have no one to blame but themselves when shit goes wrong.
    But diversity!!

    I will have to check this out. I like Dan Carlin's pods. Japan does need some immigration. They don't make babies and are the fastest aging wealthy economy in the world. Their GDP per capita compared to ours continues to lose ground since the early 90s.

    Japan is basically the most raysiss country on earth and they don't want to take in any non Japanese. Great for social cohesion. Terrible for their economy. It's not all about the almighty Yen right?

    @AZDuck you wanna weigh in?

    Splitskin, his WW1 pod was greart. Kind of rudimentary for a WW1 buff, but fantastic for the lay man.

    It is one of the biggest social and health problems facing Japan - about 1 million people, mostly men, have locked themselves in their bedrooms and will not come out.

    I would agree with that list. I thought Germany and Denmark were both really great until I spent three weeks in Finland. That place is pretty amazing.

    They are the socialist utopia though. I was told by the locals their income tax was pushing 70%, the sales tax was very high (alcohol tax was 26%), and the bulk of the population lived in small condos.

    They had everything they needed, and everything was super nice, they just didn't have any money. That scenario keeps the prices of things down though. A water front home would be in the 200k Euro range.
