Have you ever stopped to wonder what’s the best country in the world? Well, thanks to a new ranking of the Best Countries by the “U.S. News & World Report,” we now know the answer.
So, which country is the best? Well, the report hands Switzerland the top spot for another year, getting high scores for open for business, which ranks market-oriented companies, citizenship, quality of life and entrepreneurship, with Canada coming in second.
And while most Americans would likely expect the United States to be on top of the list, or at least fairly high up there, it actually doesn’t even rank in the Top Five. In fact, this year it drops one spot to number eight, and drops in two categories, open for business and movers, although it does land at number one for power, with Russia a close second.
