Which country is the most developed and why:
- Denmark
- Sweden
- Norway
- Iceland
- Netherlands
I'm really curious

[Dacul]

Neither of those mentioned above,but Japan.

[Peyrol]

Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
Netherlands also has a very high standard of living.
Iceland totally gone broke in 2008 due to the bank crysis, but i think that now is returned in the norm.

[Lobotomist]

I would say Denmark & Norway, probably because of the welfare system and less immigrants.

But i'm also a Dane

[Dacul]

Is very hard for Sweden and Norway to be very equally developed because they have a very high surface and a very small population.

Japan is highly advanced, from a technological point of view, but I'm not that sure about their quality of life, people live packed, live to work, (instead of working to live), sometimes they even sleep at their workplace in those locules you know, not to mention the frightening rate of suicide.

If I had to choose I'd pick with no doubt Danemark, it's the brightest, and at the same time liberal-welfare state in Scandinavia, everyone get its oppurtunity up there and if you deserve you will be paid good.

[Insuperable]

Neither of those mentioned above,but Japan.

And just where do you see Japan listed on this thread you Asiaphile?

[Dacul]

Japan do not have homeless people.
EDIT:
Whatever,it seems they have some,but at much lower rate than even countries from Scandinavia.

[Nadezhda89]

So you all are saying that the Scandinavian countries are more developed than Netherlands?

[Damião de Góis]

Norway. Apart from being socially advanced, it's not a part of EU, so it's not under Brussels influence.
