According to the latest UN Rankings the following countries come top when it comes to general standard of living (which the calculate in relation to factors such as life expectancy, adult literacy, school enrollment, educational attainment, and adjusted real income). Any road, here's their top ten:

Iceland
Norway
Australia
Canada
Ireland
Sweden
Switzerland
Japan
Netherlands
France

Personally, I don't care how good the schools are or if I'm expected to live till I'm 137, I'm not in any hurry to move to any of these countries.

ah, you silly silly man...

i'd go to iceland in the summer only, but they are broke as fuck and they won't keep their old standard of living. norway: lots of good looking women, summer is said to be nice, sounds boring as fuck though. i'd move to canada, provided it's a decent town like toronto or vancouver. sweden: summer only and for a quick visit-- good herring. switzerland: only to the frech-speaking parts, but sounds dull as fuck. japan: holy fuck YES. the "nether" lands.. maybe... gotta try amsterdam first. france: HELL THE FUCK YES. i'd move to france in a split second. fucking awesome country, beautiful women, awesome food, lots of bookstores, 2 hour lunches, and a population that loves and appreciates the arts (sure there are illiterate oafs everywhere but there are more here than there). if i had the means i'd move there today.
