@newenglander: You read my mind! But, judging from WHO can AFFORD to live in Monaco, one can imagine that if the Principality bothered to keep (let alone release) such statistics, they'd probably right up there at the top!

@shakirafan: there are plenty of "ordinary" people who live in Monaco, who do you think works in the bars, restaurants, casinos, sweeps the streets, cleans the toilets etc?

Any quiz with Canada over the USA should be declared invalid.

@the snakes-all of those working class people probably live in the surrounding french towns, since monaco property is very pricey. shakirafan is right, theyre probably too busy gambling away thousands of dollars on a whim and driving around in ferarris to bother with data collecting

Unless they have improved since 1997, when the latest data is from, Monaco and San Marino would actually fall outside the top20.

It must be an error by the imperialist Norwegians that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is not #1 on this list as we enjoy an extremely high standard of living based directly proportional to the excellency of our Dear Leader.
