10 best place to live & worst aswell

Britain  has sunk to 25th place in International Living magazine's 30th annual survey of the best countries to live, scoring 73/100 behind Uruguay, Lithuania and The Czech Republic. France came out on top for the fifth year in a row.
The survey analysed 194 countries and based results on nine criteria including the cost of living, leisure and culture, economy, environment, freedom, health, infrastructure, safety and climate. This involved looking at everything from the average cost of a cup of coffee, to average house prices, tax and inflation rates, GDP per capita and the number of people per musuem.
1. France
International Living says: "Its tiresome bureaucracy and high taxes are outweighed by an unsurpassable quality of life, including the world's best healthcare."

Cost of living: 55/100
Economy: 69/100

2. Australia

Final score: 81/100

3. Switzerland
International Living says: "Jump on a Swiss train and you know you will arrive on time. Swallow a Swiss pill and you know it won't poison you. Likewise, you know the bank will always be discreet and the hotel room spotless. The Swiss succeeded because they made everything work."
Final score: 81/100
Cost of living: 41/100
Economy: 79/100
4. Germany

Economy: 71/100
5. New Zealand

Final score: 79/100
Cost of living: 62/100
Economy: 65/100
6. Luxembourg
International Living says: "If we judged quality of life by a nation's Michelin-starred restaurants per square mile, the winner would be the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. With per capita GDP of $88,000 (£54,000) it's among the world's richest countries."
Final score: 78/100
Cost of living: 44/100
Economy: 85/100

Cost of living: 56/100
Economy: 67/100
8. Belgium
International Living says: "Ringed with parks, Brussels is Europe's greenest capital. The municipality not only sterilizes stray cats, it appoints someone to feed them. Its main library offers storytelling in sign language for deaf children. And disadvantaged citizens can attend cultural events at hefty discounts."
Final score: 78/100
Cost of living: 41/100
Economy: 66/100
9. Canada

International Living says: "Canada has remained resilient through the global financial crises. The banks are considered 'more Swiss than the Swiss banks,' and property markets are 'on fire'."

Cost of living: 62/100
Economy: 69/100
10. Italy

"Southern winters are short and mild, summers are scorching hot, and jugs of wine cost $6.50 (£4.00). On Sicily and in slow-paced regions like Puglia, Basilicata, and Campania, affordable homes abound. Even farmhouses with a couple of acres surface for £40,000. Many village houses cost even less."
