According to the Fraser Institute, at least.

Sorry New Zealand.
-
Well I have water

LOL! Universal health care system...

Feels good being superior.
-
Always wanted to go to New Zealand, anyway.
-
[quote]-Does not include native ringwraith and orc population.[/quote] They still have hobbits, right?

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of [b][i][u]AMERICA[/u][/i][/b] Seriously, there's a reason the song is called "America, -blam!- Yea" and not "We-have-a-weak-ass-national-bird, -blam!- Yea"
-
Honestly my life's dream is to move to New Zealand and buy an area of land really similar to Hobbiton and live out my days in maximum comfy.
-
I would like to move to New Zealand in a year, I'm stuck between there, the UK, Canada, or Switzerland.
-
Heathcare has nothing to do with freedom. Marriage is also iffy, no one has the authority to prevent gays from getting together. Also, Kazakhstan is the greatest country in the world.
-
Temeura Morrison is a living legend. I like New Zealand. They have more sheep than Wales.
-
New Zealand country is superior country.
-
New Zealand also happens to be the best country in existence.

-
It's also a backwoods island nation that could at any point be swallowed by the all powerful unforgiving ocean.
-
David Bain says no. New Zealand isn't perfect, there are quite a few issues down here. Not as many as say the US or the UK but there are only what..... 500 people living here.
-
British Monarch is your head of state. Stop shouting it makes you look stupid, America continue.

Edited by Seggi: 3/15/2013 8:05:53 AMNot surprising; New Zealand is one of the least corrupt nations in the world. Of course, this finding is based on a measure of freedom that isn't necessarily definitive, and that a lot of people might disagree with. That said, I think it seems relatively accurate.
-
Nice.
-
I sort of expected it Good ol' New Zealand.
-
Edited by The Great DanTej: 3/15/2013 7:47:55 AMI must say, I feel pretty darn free down here.
-
New Zealand, Canada, or Northern Europe are the places I'd consider living outside of Australia. Always wanted to see some of the mountain ranges in New Zealand too. Someday I will.

>new york times Ohgodlol
-
[quote]-Does not include native ringwraith and orc population.[/quote] I don't know, that doesn't seem right. I'm pretty sure I saw a documentary saying otherwise.
-
yeah we're an alright country i guess.
-
I would not mind living there. It seems like a pretty nice place.
