nations we’re going to focus on below. Therefore, grab a cup of coffee or maybe a cold drink
and read on to learn more about the top ten best countries to live in 2014.

10. United Kingdom

What makes UK so special is not only the fact that here you are going to benefit from free
healthcare, but at the same time English people are pretty laidback and have a good income
and great employment rates. On the Better Life Index, the UK always ranks very high
compared to many other counties in the world and on the community scale, it recently scored
8.8 out of ten. This means that individuals here are the most community centric people in the
world. The great air quality here coupled with some of the most beautiful landscapes you’ll ever
see are the perfect recipe for a country that you just need to visit as soon as possible.

9. Iceland

Icelandic people are very well known for their goodness and that is because they seem to be
acting like good Samaritans more than many other nations in the world. On top of that, Iceland
puts a great emphasis on recycling and therefore when you’ll come visit here you’re going to
be impressed with how clean the streets are and how much better the air quality is here. Based
on information from the Better Life Index, the degree of life satisfaction in the country is a
whopping 94 percent which should tell you a lot about how great life can be in this country.

8. Netherlands

When it comes to civic duties, it seems that people in the Netherlands are very conscious
about them so that is why when election time is drawing near, they will all go to the caucuses
and vote. It is also said that those who don’t go to cast their vote will receive a one hundred
dollars fine, which may initially sound a bit harsh, but is a very good way of making sure that
every person in the country has the chance to express their opinion on the country’s future
president.

7. Denmark

If you have ever been to Denmark, you would already know that this is probably
one of those few countries you would always want to come back to again and again.

little time for yourself, then by coming to Denmark you’ll be able to enjoy a very
flexible life with more freedom than you could ever dream of.

and a high level of satisfaction, Danish people are pretty much living a dream life. On

worked by individuals in other parts of the world.

6. United States

If you want to live in a country where you can make a lot of money, it seems that
the United States is the perfect place for you. With an average household income of
38 thousand dollars per annum, it’s easy to lead a pretty stress free life. While the
country has scored highly when it comes to safety, it seems that the top twenty
percent in the US earn eight hundred percent more than the bottom fifth, which
create as pretty big wealth gap.

5. Switzerland

Switzerland is a country that has an impressive employment rate and when it comes
to the Life Satisfaction Index, it’s a perfect ten out of ten. Not only that, but there are
so many places to see here and people are so friendly, than you would not believe
