Wow, one of the few times I get to be proud of lil ol' Belgium.
I often joke with family that we live in the best country in the world by default. Not because it's a paradise by any stretch of the imagination but because the rest of the world went to shit faster than we did.
So far...
In the Netherlands we always outperform you stupid Belgians. As you can see, we are higher than you on this map too!
Ha, that'll teach em!
Hmm, surprised it's that much lower - wonder why? Maybe 1% in .be hide wealth in .lu , and fgov is not good at tracing it. Also chateaux in the south of belgium seem relatively cheap (wrt elsewhere).
Probably because of the indexing system that automatically raises everyone's wages.
Luckily we Flemings are definitely trying to fix it every election.
Also Portugal! Iโm consistently pleasantly surprised every time i read or hear something about that country. And Iโve still never been.
