New Zealand rocks!
....Minimum crime rate..close to nature, cute kiwis(well ...not so cute actually), quite high employment rate, high standard of living, less hectic, friendlier, less materialistic,.happy families... car ownership rate is one of the world's highest, butter and cheese highly consumed, quality education, more disciplined kids.......
New Zealand is better than US in SO many ways and  I'd say the best place to live in the world.
