    Yea, that sounds about right - add to it a worker and business friendly society as a whole and you have the result
    The Germans have an excellent welfare system and protection of workers rights. What many fail to realise is, they pay a much higher proportion of their salary in tax and welfare charges to support it.
    That simply makes sense - in an emergency your taxes keep you safe and healthy.

    To be honest you could pick any one of a dozen countries and call it the best. Mostly the northern countries are well organised, democratic and economically viable. I like parts of France, Germany and most of the scandinavian countries. You might prefer southern climates where the locals are sometimes friendly and sometimes not.
    As a generalisation you might want to try Portugal.
    Hope this helps

    It does Chass when you are looking for an EU country to spend the summer. I prefer good weather, good food, a reasonable rent rate and a great history factor. Spain has been on my list, but that was purely from a weather and cost factor.
