HDI is widely regarded as the best metric for nation development.

  So Norway is the most developed country in the world? http://hdr.undp.org/en/content/latest-human-development-index-ranking http://hdr.undp.org/en/content/latest-human-development-inde... I doubt it.

      I did my research and all information points me to US being the most developed country in the world. For example this information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_United_States

        Clicking on "developed country" in your link takes you to [1] which doesn't seem to backup your claims in any of the listed metrics. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developed_country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developed_country

          So you are arguing with me that US is not the most developed country in the world or that it is not developed at all? "Most commonly, the criteria for evaluating the degree of economic development are gross domestic product (GDP)." US has the most highest GDP in the world but of course there are other 99 economic metrics and criteria where US is not first but looking at productivity and innovation they are number 1. "By 1890 the United States had overtaken the British Empire as the world's most productive economy." From my link.
