| This list doesn't necessarily reflect how pleasant it is to live in any of these countries - it is simply a measure of the level of poverty, disease prevalence, conflict, etc. Libya and Gabon, for example, as well as many other North African nations, have been able to eliminate deep poverty altogether due to oil revenue, though both are among the most corrupt nations in the world and also pretty far down as far as individual freedoms. The ones that really deserve to be there are Botswana, South Africa, Namibia, Ghana, etc. |
