Of the Thirty Worst Countries index, the last-place ranking went to Central African Republic.

Using publicly available data, analysts evaluated ten areas: economic growth (gross domestic product), the stability of the economy, the labor market situation (unemployment), quality health care, infrastructure (transport or internet connection), public administration, education and the environment, and also revenue differences and the status of so-called civil society.

Northern and Western European countries, with the exception of Australia at #5, dominated the top slots. The Czech Republic scored six places behind the US and outranked Spain, Portugal, and Poland in quality of living stats.
