GreatCountry.org attempts to answer the question that intrigues everybody. What is the greatest country in the world? We do that by ranking 16 uncorrelated factors including everything from social, economic and environmental prosperity to factors like air pollution, cocaine use, olympic medals per capita, net migration and wealth inequality. This gives us a comprehensive view into one society, unlike anything that has been done before.
GreatCountry.org is created by Vladimir Prelovac.
