Mauritius excluded from TOP 100 best countries in the World... by richdaddy

This is just sad. Mauritius pride itself to be the star and key of the Indian Ocean, the success story that African countries can inspire to, the "Singapore" of the region, the "destination de luxe" (luxury destination) for the rich & famous and yet ...

I disagree, Singapore wealth comes from its exceptionnal localisation as a port, and Mauritius, much more remote, have not the same oportunities. Besides, Singapore is not, as far as I know, a democracy. Read More

It's strange because some african countries are inside the list of the 100 bests and you can see they have a life expectancy of 42 or 45 year only, in Mauritius the life expectancy is 70 and a little more, so I doubt the validity of the report. Are ... Read More
