Posted on 02/06/2016 | About Germany

Germany is the best country in the world, according to new analysis unveiled Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The first-ever Best Countries report awarded Germany the top spot “in part because of its strong economy, world influence and its focus on key global issues, such as the migrant crisis and eurozone unity.”

Five other EU members made the top 10. The rankings are meant to reflect how countries are perceived globally. They were compiled by U.S. News & World Report, BAV Consulting and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
