One thing that needs to be pointed out regarding these types of posts is that the top rated nations all have essentially homogenous populations. This means that there aren't as many touchy issues such as race, culture, religion, etc. As such, the legislature of these countries are theoretically more free to put in place changes that are beneficial to the country.

I see USA from the outside, and I see it like a full continent under the same flag. Sorry from Canada and Mexico. The comparison should between the big blocks. We should not compare China or USA with France. May be with EU. Or California vs France.

"This Social Progress Index ranks New Zealand No. 1, followed by Switzerland, Iceland and the Netherlands." I can only speak for the Netherlands but our population is anything but homogenous. Our politics and societal issues are in fact dominated by racial, cultural and religious differences. It's almost all we talk about.
