Isn’t Taiwan technically a part of China? It’s not fully recognised by the UN. I failed because of Taiwan. Anyways, good job for the quiz!

Yes, China would like to conquer Taiwan and incorporate it into their country. China has also convinced most of the other countries not to recognize Taiwanese statehood. But Taiwan remains, in any way that matters, an independent country.

^ what is comment supposed to mean, baby? You think that the government of the Republic of China that fled to Taiwan were colonizing it? Or... that Maoists were colonists? Or that Taiwan's claims on China or China's claims on Taiwan are somehow rooted in colonialism? Did you get Taiwan mixed up with Hong Kong or Macau and missed the memo that China reclaimed both? I'm genuinely confused.

Taiwan and the mainland are both states full of Chinese people. In what way is the PRC wanting to control Taiwan colonialism? Is it colonialism for the ROC to claim the territory all the territory the PRC does as well as 10 other countries? I also think it's a bit strange to portray reunification as "conquering" the other part of the country.

This is an insane take. You're totally good with a Chinese-Taiwanese anschluss because there are people with a similar ethnic background in both, and a history of being one country in the past? I agree that colonialism is not an appropriate word for the situation there, but the defense of the "reunification" of China at missilepoint reads as mere sycophantry toward the CCP.

According to this quiz, Sweden has more billionaires per capita than the US does, but that can't be right. I keep hearing from reliable sources that Scandinavia's superior education, healthcare, environmental, and welfare programs are not worth it because it's just a socialist hellscape where it's impossible to make money.

For the average person, it's quite true. There are more millionaires per capita in US than Sweden. There's also higher economic mobility.

Swedes pays a lot for the additional government benefits. If I were to work in my company's Stockholm office, after taxes, I'd earn about 37% as much as I currently do in the US . In addition, every import item would be more expensive.

Yes, but how much less would you spend in expenses if your family's healthcare and education were covered? My original comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek because I know people who seriously think Sweden is on the verge of having bread lines, but I think Americans often do the math wrong because we are so conditioned to think of everything in terms of income. I think a better metric is how much the average person can *save* in an average year. For the average American, the numbers are pretty abysmal. I have no idea what it's like in Sweden or anywhere else, but I am a lot more concerned what I have left after expenses than what's printed on my paycheck.

Me personally? I paid about $35k for my college education purely from internships which pay vastly superior than Sweden's. All my healthcare combined averages out to about negative $2500 a year (my employer gives me free insurance + $3k/yr in HSA). So all in all, roughly break even.

After taxes and expenses, I'm able to save roughly 40% of my gross pay which is already higher than the entirety of my take-home if I were to live in Sweden.

I work at Google; the insurance plan is called gHip. IMO the US is the absolute best country with a guaranteed path towards success even if you start out with essentially nothing due to how highly paid professionals are - you don't have to strike it lucky with entrepreneurship.

This is even more true in 2025. The salaries that people can get in the U.S. doing totally mundane jobs would shock the average Europe.

For example, a level 68 engineer at Microsoft makes about $800,000 a year.

And while that's a very high level that not everyone will achieve, it's also totally common to meet people at that level who aren't doing anything ground-breaking and maybe even have extremely "cushy" jobs.

It's maddening how many essential functions of society, performed by the working class are completely overlooked. The proportion of people who are underpaid for work that all those 'engineers' depend on seems to be completely opaque to folks like you. I get a little angry about this. Our society just doesn't properly value the daily hard work people are out here doing, and you're going on about how much some people make doing cushy jobs. Pisses me right off! F-ing tech bros!

Agreed -- the US is a great place for high paying tech and FIRE sector jobs but far more Americans work at low paying service/manufacturing/retail sector jobs. Instead of citing a Google worker, why not compare where it's better to work at McDonald's -- Denmark wins. Even neo-liberal think tanks have conceded that people are better off in a Nordic economy than an Anglo-American economy.

If you're referring to economic freedom - I think you are - then you are incorrect on this point. As you can see in this list, Sweden actually ranks higher than the US as do several other countries. Not to say the US is a bad place to be successful (it is in the highest category), but it is not at the top. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_of_Economic_Freedom

By inter-generational economic and social mobility indices, Scandinavian countries are far better than the US. That is, the chances your children will do better than you are far higher in Scandinavia than the US. According to the WEF mobility index, Scandanavia ranks 1,2, 3, 4 while the US ranks 24th

Surprised no gulf countries. Then again, those rich princes aren't obliged to disclose their earnings so I guess it's just because there's no data. I've heard rumors that the king of Saudi Arabia might be a trillionaire.

EDIT: Double checked. 1.4 trillion is the net worth of the whole royal family, not the king alone.

Fun fact: the neighbourhood of Deep Water Bay in Hong Kong is home to 19 billionaires. In total just over 1,000 people live there and it covers an area of less than 1.5 sq km. That means over 1% of the population are billionaires and it has a population density of billionaires greater than Russia's population density of people. On its own it would almost make this list. As a result it is often referred to as the richest neighbourhood on Earth.

About Israel

Many of the billionaires in Israel are just jewish people with double citizenship. Most of them are oligarchs from post-soviet states. They don't live in Israel but use their citizenship to pay less taxes, to get better investment opportunities in Israel, and recently also to protect thier assets from sanction.

Notable examples are Miriam Adelson and Roman Abramovich.
