Oddbean new post about login | logout France quietly gets to fly under the radar as one of the worst countries ever. I am of course referring to the governments and kings, not the citizens.
Are there any notable kings and governments today? This is not a rhetorical question.
I would say Lichtenstein and El Salvador. Neither are perfect, but it’s hard to argue with, at least, their approach. But generally speaking, not really. Just varying degrees of what one will put up with. I am sure there are some small island nations that have actual freedom and a happy citizenry, but I’m not worldly enough to offer definitive examples.
