There are other measures and rankings elsewhere.
In addition to the additional metrics you mentioned, perhaps yet another to take into account is how hostile natives feel towards you when traveling in certain parts of the world--up to and including harassment, kidnapping, and (in limited locations) beheading risks.
In places (even here in Europe) where people tend to by default assume good English speakers to be American, I get better treatment by managing to convey that I'm not.

- iaskwhy 11y agoI find this topic very interesting and have been thinking about it for a few years now since I'm now allowed to get British citizenship. A few other things which might be important: - The government and future possibility of US tax arrangements being implemented; - How war prone the country is because one might be under the obligation to be sent to a war theatre being a citizen (not sure about this, just me thinking out loud). Any other bits?
