I don't think that focusing on countries is the way to go. You live in a city. Compare cities. San Fransico is completely different from somewhere in Texas.
You are right. In fact, I was mostly comparing cities. I don't know why I decided to phrase the text as comparing countries. It just seems harder to have good statistics for cities. There's no Cities Values Survey.
Bad data is worse than no data.
When you want hard data http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World'smostlivable_cities might be interesting.
