Why is the United States considered the best country in the world?

Short answer:

• The United States is not ranked as the best country in the world by U.S. News & World Report (2022) -- Switzerland is.

• The nation occupies a position at or near the top of many sub-ranking lists, including first place for power and agility, second place for entrepreneurialism, and third place for cultural impact.

To determine the most superior nation, it is necessary to compile a set of criteria or benchmarks that needs to be evaluated. Some prospective yardsticks are entirely subjective, and as a result, they cannot contribute to the development of an objective evaluation. There are two different kinds of subjective factors that may be taken into consideration when determining which nation is the best.

The personal circumstances of an individual constitute a subjective problem. Subjective choices such as one's likes and personal circumstances must be put aside; otherwise, the factors will be much too distinctive to arrive at any conclusions regarding the nation that is the greatest to live in. Instead, there is a need to investigate how things stand for the person who is statistically representative of the nation. When assessing countries, it is necessary to use objective criteria; that is, criteria on which virtually all reasonable people may agree on what a good country should meet. In the end, what is required is a list of fundamental commodities that is not biased toward any particular type of governance, economic system, or specific legislation. This list should be quite generic.
