Just eyeballing, I see a handful of strongly liberal European countries above the US, and a bunch that are just below the US.
But this is a tough thing to compare, as you note. Suicide rate is encompassing a whole bunch of things. I'm tempted to compare against Canada, where the suicide rate is only less by 1 per 100,000 people per year, but I have no idea if I'm picking that out fairly.
