So, in the goodcountry.org[^] index, the Ma's homeland comes out top. TBH, I think the figures were slightly skewed in Ireland's favour by the fact the researchers spent their entire 'fact finding' trip to Dublin in St James' Gate.

Cymru doesn't even appear - which implies it's worse here than Iran, Iraq, Libia, and Azerbaijan!
Or...it's a load of bol rubbish?
I think I can guess which...

Neither does Cornwall. If it helps, UK is 7th while Hungaryorszag in down at 61th.

I know that Mebyon Kernow would have otherwise, but Cornwall isn't a separate country (yet!)
I do love my pasties, Devenish and St Austell's though (and Kelly's with an extra blob of clotted cream - yum!) I feel the need to book a flight.

I think it's only 'official' (i.e. UN recognised) countries. UK is in there but we all know where we would prefer to live within that grouping.

Yeh, living Scotland must be pretty Ser-weeeet.

You have forgotten the deep-fried haggis.
Well done - we all try to forget deep-fried haggis.

Not really a true Scot; a Scottish name but I have never lived there.

Only independent countries are listed... 
(It is, however, a load of horsefeathers as I can tell you the external perception of Ireland is in no way similar to the internal perception when it comes to equality, health, etc.)

I think you should organise a revolt.
I'm bored of the circular bickering that is British politics, huge gangs of tough sinewy men roam the Valleys terrorising people with their close-harmony singing would liven things up for a bit.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I was waiting for the Nagster to leap in there with "the Welsh are already revolting" or similar.
I dunno - what's the point of a good feed line if he's going to completely ignore it?

Funnily, or not, Michael Flanders actually died in Welsh Wales.

Don't encourage 'em. They'll only go and burn more holiday cottages.
In the Valleys their too busy in the clubs to turn nasty, it's the North you have to watch out for.

Clearly they never got to try:
- Lava bread
- Welsh cakes
- Double Dragon
- Brains SA
- Bread pudding
- etc.
Maybe they're allergic to daffodils?

I'm curious: Ireland's "freedoms" used to be heavily tainted by the influence of the catholic church. If this is so, I'd be quite curious how it came out on top - and why so many Irish come here to live and work.
A good missing indicator of being allowed to live the way you wish would be the Theocracy Index.

I don't think the guides any good, the UK's 7th it should be a lot lower. According to the guide Cyprus is the 3rd leading global contributor to Science and Technology!

Sweet! I'm hoping the top 20 decide to fund the vast majority of the UN budget and NATO so us poor slobs in the ghetto can use our money more productively.

Does the solution relate to a joker (not The Joker) by any means? 
Your time will come, if you let it be right.
