Something I ran across surfing the Internet. Thought it was an interesting perception.


The world's 10 oldest continuous democracies as:

o Late 18th cent: USA
o Early 19th cent: UK, Switzerland
o Late 19th cent: Sweden, Canada
o Early 20th cent: Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Finland, Iceland


· Today, all 10 of these countries are ranked the maximum "Free" in political freedom by Freedom House.

· All 10 are ranked the maximum "Free" in economic freedom by The Heritage Foundation.

· All 10 are in the top 25 richest countries on earth.

· 5 of these 10 countries are strong military defenders of the West. The other 5 are neutral.

· 5 of these 10 countries led the defeat of the 3 greatest killers that were defeated in the 20th century - the Nazis, Axis Japan, and the Soviet Union.

· Today, in the Islamist War, all 10 of these countries are either in the "Axis of Good" or are neutral.

· Truly, these are good candidates for the best 10 countries in the world.
