I live in the United States of America and its pretty mediocre sometimes but I would prefer it over some countries. I give it 8/10. Of course we don't have a perfection nation and I don't think anyone does. They all have flaws and things that are right to the people. In terms of freedom I love America for that. We have laws that we have to abide to and sometimes they're a pain in the neck but its all to keep us safe and what not. Politics gets nasty and pretty low, presidents making wrong decisions, everything is capitalized, and all that make up America. Its not that bad in terms of chaos that other countries face.

Well I can't really rate my country because I haven't been to any other country so I don't know what it's like to live there. Sure I know some about the history of some countries and current events of them now but that's what is just on the news. I do like my country though, I live in the United States as well. I enjoy the freedom given and I probably take it for granted.

I live in India and I would give it a 5/10.

It is a nice country, cool/crazy people, nice places to visit, beautiful nature and better if the people know how to preserve it.
The things that brought it from 9 to 5 are many many many anti-social elements and silly people who follow "god" impersonators and land in a big pile of s**hole and even kill their own babies for the sake of sacrifice!
The ridiculous democracy of my country is slightly improving with SMS as our Prime Minister but still it is still ridiculous.
Population Explosion, it is the root cause of every ******* problem in my country.

I live in Malaysia. Life before year 2003 were really great because of our great Prime Minister Mahathir. But as soon he steps down, the country when chaos within a year. Our current PM, Abdullah Badawi, is no other than a blind man. He has no vision for the country, and yet implementing stupid government policies favouring and spoon-feeding the Malays (origins of Malaysia). Unity in Malaysia are getting more fragile. Now and then, arguments between the Malays and non-Malays(a.k.a Chinese and Indians) are becoming more and more common. Unfortunately, our blind PM isn't doing a good job solving the racial issue. Worse yet, every single Ministers in the Cabinet are following his examples. During the government general assembly, Malay politicians raised the issue of Malays unable to get involve in big firms of mega projects because the chinese snatch the opportunity from them, which lead to Malay race with the highest poverty. This is simply not true. The first fact, the Indians are the one who has the highest poverty percentage and requires help from the people. Second fact, the chinese did not snatch the opportunity of getting big firms from the Malays, it's simply most of them seem uncapable and unreliable to be involve. The current economy statistics shows 60% of Malaysia's economy are controlled by the chinese, despite the Malays getting the big helps from the government in job opportunities.

There goes the previous PM, Mahathir's vision. He spent 2 decades developing and modernising our country. Our current blind PM has freezed and cancelled almost every mega projects which predicted to have bring a total of RM400bil investment. One of the example is that he cancelled a bridge connecting to Singapore, which cost RM740 million to build and a fine of RM1 billion if cancelled. Without thinking, our blind PM was willing to pay RM1 billion to cancel that damn bridge.

Thank God that i'll be furthering my studies in the UK and hopefully to find a job there. In Malaysia, it's hard for a non-Malays to find a job, because job vacancies are preserved for the Malays, with the aids from the government. An ex-patriot like me will say let Malaysia rot and sink until a capable person like Mahathir leads the country.

My current rating for Malaysia: 3/10

Australia.

Probably have to rate it 7.5 out of 10.

Living standards are pretty good, laid back, a bit spread out (ie most houses have backyards), easy going, even the capital cities (ie Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne) are fairly livable.

As for the CONs, probably have to say the recent Cronulla Beach situation in regard to the middle east has tainted things a bit, although both parties involved are just as guilty, and probably the on-going politics.. (Labour & National-Liberal coalition) and no other decent alternative.

I love Australia. Everything is so relaxing there, except for Sydney.

Belgium (Europe).

I rate it at 8/10.

Food and Beer are great.
I think we have about 100 kinds of beer (some are even popular like 'Westfleteren').

The weather : it never Rains, it poors (or something like that).

I live in Sussex, England. Overall rating... 7/10

Good:
Freedom to do pretty much anything I damn well please (IF I can afford it!)
Not too hot in summer or too cold in winter
I live by the sea - very pleasant environment.
Serious crime were I live is very low.
Unlike the USA - I can gamble at any online casino I choose!

Bad:
Cars everywhere - it's like everyone owns at least two each!
Therefore most roads are gridlocked 50% of the time.
The average house costs on average EIGHT times the average salary = LUDICROUS!
Our petrol is probably the most expensive in the world.
Beer (in pubs) is also pretty close the the most expensive too.
We have tax on everything - even our tax has tax on it!
Cheap reliable frequent public transport is a long forgotten memory.
Our government prefers to spend money fighting wars in countries that have nothing to do with us, rather than helping the millions of Britons struggling below the poverty line.
Travelling to the nearest other country (France) costs £100's
