Today, the United Nations released its list of the best countries to live in, and the United States is not even in the top five. The list is actually the U.N. Development Program's human development index. The rankings are figured using such factors as life expectancy, education, and income.
Here are the top eight countries in the U.N.'s ranking:
1. Norway
2. Iceland
3. Australia
4. Ireland
5. Sweden
6. Canada
7. Japan
8. United States
The five countries with the lowest U.N. ranking are:
173. Guinea-Bissau
174. Burkina Faso
175. Mali
176. Sierra Leone
177. Niger
Because of insufficient data, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Iraq were not on the list.
According to the report, a person in Norway earns an average of 40 times what a person in Niger would earn. They also live twice as long, and have five times the literacy rate.
