The purpose of this study is to measure the general quality of life in these countries for most of their citizens. You seemed to be saying that, while it might affect them, it didn't affect you. I'm pretty sure the point of the study wasn't to try and differentiate between how outsiders would view the country, but rather an 'Index' on what life is like there, generally. I'm sure you've got experience there, but you're a foreigner who has more money than probably 90% of Nigerians/Chinese, if not more.

Exactly. I'm saying that the difference between Norway and Canada and a big list of other countries is irrelevant. In those countries I would make the choice based on other reasons as they are all good enough in these categories.
I'd start the list at like who knows -- 100. Then use the list to gauge how these countries are doing in comparison to countries like them.
These people are indeed in different circumstances and pointing out there is a whole lot of developed countries doing better does what?
