Of the Nations in the Top 10 Highest Standard of Living, 6 are in Northern Europe:
1. Norway
2. Sweden
4. Belgium
7. Iceland
8. Netherlands
10. Finland
It's interesting to note that these 6 countries are also listed in the Top 10 Nations with the least percentage of population living in poverty. The United States, while listed in the former, is not listed in the latter.
Looks like I know where I'm emigrating to, if and when I need to emigrate.

SNARCOPHAGY: n., the major media's cannibalization of the public brain through the use of pervasive spin, overblown rhetoric, and nagging pablum, the goal of which is to bypass rational voter thought, disrupt critical social dialogue, and cause a complete democratic system failure.
