Finland was named the “Best Country in the World” by Newsweek magazine this week.
However, far from celebrating the ranking, media in Finland wondered if there had been a calculation error, thinking that Switzerland, not Finland, should have won top honor. According to Finnish media, Finland’s score was supposed to be 89.0, and Switzerland’s 89.3.
“The formula is complex,” wrote Finish news website HS.fi.
The doubts were proven wrong, when the magazine announced on Wednesday that there was no error.
Newsweek ranks countries according to education, health, quality of life, economic competitiveness, and political environment. The calculations are made by a group of economists and social policy experts.
Following behind Finland are Switzerland, Sweden, Australia, and Luxembourg. The United States ranked 11th.
