[Serious] In terms of governance, which country stands out? And what are their best practices that other countries should apply?

Not that you've shitcanned the States, Australia wil shitcan you. Consumer prices in Australia are 37.07% lower than in Switzerland. (This includes Rent, utilities, groceries, transport, restaurant, sport and leisure, clothing). The only thing Aussies really pay more for is purchasing a packet of ciggies. We pay 60% more than the Swiss when it comes to cigarettes.

You pay almost double what we do on healthcare, 46% more than us.

Switzerland wins the award for most complicated tax system hands down. The Swiss confederation, the cantons and the municipalities are all able to levy taxes.

The amount of income tax you pay and the type of education you get depends not only on which canton you live in but also which administrative district of your town you live in. Sometimes moving just a few streets away can have a significant impact on your disposable income and quality and cost of education. Outrageous.

You're also feeding off being one of the top ten biggest tax havens in the world. How many of the 'luxuries' you have over the US can be largely attributed to the fact you're one of the biggest tax havens in the world > what portion of us tax isn't being paid because of your country. Also, you're making money off your 'asylum law' which strips asylum seekers of any possessions and/or money over $1,000. When you say everything is cared for, everything is superb it's actually not.

$15,000 scholarship if you qualify for it. The operative word is if We have scholarships that cover the entire university tuition. As does the US. The US also offers scholarships to foreigners.

As you said, "I could go on with the list, but I don't want you to be even more jealous..."
