  1. i looked into Zimbobwe and found that in Zimbobwe you would be 25.5% likely to get HIV/AIDS, have a 10.2% chance to get employed and also have a five times higher chance of dying in infancy. but some of the good things like use less gas or use 92.5% less of electricity is probrably because they dont have it im just sayin -Brian S.

  11. I feel that Hungary may be better because they consume less natural resources and create less pollution than we do. They consume 73.9% less oil. They also save on electricity and use 69.68% less than americans.

    The Hungarain population seems to be more educated about safe sex pratices. 83.33% are less likly to have hiv/aids.

    I also feel that Hungary would be a great place to live because of the most important fact of all.... Hungarians have 0.61% MORE FREE TIME!!!!!!!! lol

  12. In Greece, you consume less electricity and oil. However, you would make 30.82% less money, yet work .33 hours more than we do. Is that really fair? You would spend less on health care, but live 1.56 years longer. they have less chance of dying in infancy, a better chance at being employed, if not by much, but...wow. thats pretty good.
