Per capita, or overall? We should clarify that for Rusty.

australia is pretty cool

Finland, Norway, and Sweden are all pretty tops on most measurably desirable characteristics, other than being effing cold.

Pretty much any non-colonized country. But then again before those countries came to be there was a lot of infighting and tribes and bands before nations were able to arise. Really, any political entity you see today had to fight and battle and be shitty against someone. Some just own up and recognize it better than others.

Finland, Norway, Sweden?

I mean I guess there's others, too. Quebec under Champlain did a pretty nice job, I believe.

It's just difficult to consider any nation "exceptional" in the context it is typically used when they've done a lot of shitty things throughout their history. I don't know much about Australia. They kind of got a late start which probably helps.

I can't even think of a second best flag. Probably Brazil.

jamaica is a very good flag imo
