Where in the world is your ideal country, that is doing everything right. Genuinely curious as it sounds like you want accessible weapons + unfiltered reach of speech with no side effects.

There obviously does not exist such a country and neither country are working towards it. I rather worry about being shot during a traffic stop if I give them a reason such as acting out than simply opening my mouth.

Come to China; it is recognized worldwide as one of the safest countries.

Safety is one topic, but this person is also discussing censorship and corruption.

As much as I like visiting China for leisure, I could personally never live there. I agree the healthcare and safety are great in China though. It’s the same reasons I could never live in places like Dubai or Singapore.

Safety is not a #1 priority for me in the places I choose to live.

What do you consider to be the most important factors regarding where you live?

Also highest quality of life, most technological progress, least corrupt government (executing people caught doing corruption helps with that). Main bad thing is you can't criticise the government or vote.

Where does it stand against other countries with respect to happiness?
