[edit] International rankings
Finland ranked first out of 146 countries in Columbia University / Yale University's Environmental Sustainability Index in 2005.
Finland is eleventh on the United Nations' Human Development Index[1] and ranked as the sixth happiest nation in the world.[2] According to the World Audit Democracy profile, Finland is the freest nation in the world in terms of civil liberties, freedom of the press, low corruption levels and political rights.[3] Finland is rated the sixth most peaceful country in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit,[4] and since 1945, Finland has been at peace, adopting neutrality in wartime.
Finland was rated the best country to live in by Reader's Digest study released in October 2007, which looked at issues such as quality of drinking water and greenhouse gas emissions as well as factors such as education and income. [5]
