Best Countries To Emigrate To, Possibly (for English-speakers)

[Subteigh]

This is an extension of this previous ranking I did: World Freedom Index

A ranking of countries I did multiplying various factors, such as:
1. Cost of Living, using data from Numbeo
2. Climate (a score derived from using the highest ranked city for a country from the Bitcoin Nomad Cities ranking of world cities).
3. English-speaking proficiency, data in large part from the EF English Proficiency Index (2019)
4. A homicide rank (a lower score is better - i.e. fewer homicides per capita). That is from a column in the full Human Freedom Index spreadsheet.
5. Life expectancy, from the United Nations Human Development Report 2019
6. Inequality-adjusted HDI, from the United Nations Human Development Report 2019
7. Personal Freedom score from the Human Freedom Index (2019)
8. Economic Freedom score from the Human Freedom Index (2019)
9. Score from the Democracy Index (2019)
10. Score from the World Index of Moral Freedom (2020)

I used the three "freedom" indices I found most interesting from here: ones that I felt each covered distinct topics and were not too controversial. The Human Freedom Index has been criticized for having a libertarian bias, but I did not find this especially troublesome: I did perceive the Index of Economic Freedom (which I did not use) as being more questionable. Of course this is subject to taste.

I included the 5 categories of indicators the World Index of Moral Freedom uses for its average as I thought this would be especially interesting, although the overall average only averages the four scores mentioned above.

The EF English Proficiency Index 2020 was recently published but I can't be bothered to update the figures because I don't think it will make a meaningful difference and the data may be questionable in any case.

The Overall Score is simply a multiplication of 9 of the 10 metrics (excluding Cost of Living). You could do your own variant depending on what metrics you consider important.

"O/$" is the Overall Score (score) divided by the Cost of Living score.

If there was no Cost of Living value, the country's rank was simply the Overall Score score.

If you find the data of any actual use, then one thing you could do is omit all countries that do badly on an important value - for example, if I don't want to get shot, I could filter out all countries that have a higher homicide score than the United Kingdom.

Réunion, Western Sahara, Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Polynesia, French Guiana, New Caledonia, Mayotte, Guernsey & Jersey, Curaçao, United States Virgin Islands, Isle of Man, Cayman Islands, Greenland, Faroe Islands, Sint Maarten, Turks & Caicos Islands, Gibraltar, British Virgin Islands, Caribbean Netherlands, Anguilla, Wallis & Futuna, Saint Pierre & Miquelon, Montserrat, Saint Helena & Ascension & Tristan da Cunha, Falkland Islands, Niue, Tokelau, and Vatican City are not represented in the ranking.

LOWER SCORES = BETTER (Except the last five columns, which are the same as the original source).

I have considered adding the Global Peace Index and the Sustainable Development Goals rankings to this, but I decided not to, because I thought the project was already in danger of being overly convoluted and perhaps already sufficiently gives a ranking that I like. I have explored somewhat the degree to which the various metrics correlate with with each other.

Maybe I'll make a world map representing the scores sometime.

[FreelancePoliceman]

I don't think this takes into account the job market, given where Portugal and Spain are on this list.

[khcs]

People in target countries do not like large scale migration everywhere with no exception. This leads to the creation of parallel societies within no go areas.

Those who recommend large scale migration are either clueless or they have sinister motives.

What is the source of this table? What is the purpose of ranking countries based on bogus criteria?

[Okay]

Large scale migration is going to happen regardless.

[Subteigh]

I'm surprised that more people haven't disputed the ranking of San Marino.

By happy hearts, so broken
We stuck by you, and you know
Your bold swagger made us forget
the dagger at our throat

You're always in a hurry and a rage
I call it defiance of coming of age
But you've cast your last spell on us
You've bombed your last bridge to us, oh

We used to love America

You would have won the world by letting go,
But then you lost your way
Your glory days are gone, so smile and roll over
We've got so much more in common today
All hail the stumbling child-king,
Calling for the vanishing light
Now stay with us, as brothers,
through this darkest of nights, oh

We used to love America

And I remember how you said, we shall all sing again
Screw the rest;
The west knows best

Yeah, I remember how you sang, we shall all just sing it
Screw the rest;
The west knows best

Oh, screw the rest;
The west knows best

We used to love America

The best country to emigrate to is whichever relatively peaceful country is closest to you - in physical distance as well as culture

[Tallmo]

It's always hard to choose the right criteria.

This reminds me of the fact that Finland has been chosen the happiest country in the world for 3 years in a row.

Living here myself I find it hard to take seriously.
