WE’RE all in luck – Britain has been ranked the 13th best country in the world to live.
It earned its place, one spot above the Seychelles, from experts who graded 173 nations based on how well they fulfilled their residents’ basic needs.
Singapore came out on top, followed by Australia and Denmark, with the Netherlands, Estonia, Luxembourg, Norway, Belgium, New Zealand and Germany making up the top ten.
The rankings are part of a research project known as The Statehood Index, analysing the health and power of the state.
Factors such as smooth functioning of courts, police and schools were seen as signs of a well-run state – as were the reliability of the electricity supply and prompt medical appointments.
