Wallowed in backwaters is one way to put a nation with the second highest GDP in the world, extremely low poverty and crime, and rankings generally at the top of every measurable facet most care about including self reported quality of life.
- TulliusCicero 3y agoThis is more than a little rose-colored. Japan does do very well on some metrics, but there's also ones where they do pretty badly. For example, they do badly on measures of gender equality IIRC.
