It’s time, once again, for the U.S. News survey of best countries. This year, 80 countries were surveyed, with participants being asked to rank the best countries in 9 categories: (i) Adventure; (ii) Citizenship; (iii) Cultural Influence; (iv) Entrepreneurship; (v) Heritage; (vi) Movers; (vii) Open for Business; (viii) Power; and, (ix) Quality of Life.
For 2017, the Top 10 Ranked Countries were:
- Switzerland
- Canada
- United Kingdom
- Germany
- Japan
- Sweden
- United States
- Australia
- France
- Norway
The United States fell 3 spots from its #4 ranking in 2016. The timing of the global survey - beginning one week after November's U.S. presidential election - probably had an effect on the world's view of America. For example, nearly 75% of respondents said they had lost respect for the U.S. in some degree because of the toxic tone of the 2016 presidential campaign.
In terms of best countries in the individual subcategories, here are the best countries for…
