Whats the most accurate measurement of how good or shit a country is?
>>
it's borderline impossible to get a good measurement

Like here in Brazil where some places we have people like heaven on earth and in others people living in borderline war zones. You take the average and won't get anywhere near of understanding the country.

I noticed the number of millionaires living in a country is an interesting indicator of how good it can get.

You have to look at all the big ones and make a top tier list based off of the countri3s that routinely score near the top, metrics like HDI, IHDI, PISA Pearson education index, safety indicies, GDP, freedom index, happiness scale, incomes, reptrak, life expectancy, corruption indicies, membership in organizations like the G7, etc.

Once you do that you find nations that consistently rank in the top 10. Usually, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, and often a couple micro states like Luxembourg. So, choose what language you want, what sports you want, and what weather you like, and whichever of those countries fits closest would be the "best" country for you.

For most Americans that means Canada would be objectively the nicest country in the world, for most other Anglos it would be Australia, etc.

Besides the obvious gated communities present in many cities, there are places like Florianópolis and some small cities.

There are some little communities that are small utopias like this:

I'm sorry m8, but by our standards you're on the lower end of first world cunts. You never hear about anyone moving to the UK, it's either the US, Canada, Australia or Germany. For good reason.

Crime in Florianópolis is pretty much on the same bad neighborhoods, if you only look at stats you will have no ideia how life is.

Not exactly a fortress, my cousin lives in a gated community and it's pretty cool, everyone knows each other and play together, you can enjoy the many pools of the community or play tennis or whatever. It's a quite social thing, and also they have a few acres of untouched rainforest inside, so it's pretty as fuck. I live in a pretty ok place, HDI of my neighborhood is higher than Norway, for instance, but I wouldn't call here a little heaven for I really value climate. I lived for a while in Sweden and all the safety is pretty useless if you don't want to leave home and have no friends or community. No wonder your suicide rates are so high.

Bullshit.

HDI wasn't made to measure neighborhoods. Dumbass. Brazil is the only country on earth with universities retarded enough to try to measure the HDI of neighborhoods.

Foreigners as a percentage of population from countries you mentioned (notice that Germany is below the UK which is very close to the USA):
Germany: 11.9%
UK: 12.4%
USA: 14.3%
Canada: 20.7%
Australia: 27.7%

Highest country (other than Vatican): UAE 87.3%
Lowest country: Lesotho, Madagascar, Vietnam, Indonesia, China, all at 0.1%

But we get immigrants FROM countries like the US, Australia, Germany. They're some of our biggest immigrant groups. We get more Americans than Pakistanis.

If the UK is shit why do people from those countries come here?
