Slovenia (Photo credit: phault)
I bet you’re instinctive answer was yes. how cynical of you. it seems everyone’s favorite sport last two years in Slovenia has been complaining about life and politics, without having any broad perspective on the state of the world.
Slovenians seem to live in a mental bubble, where they compare their own poor fates and lives with the imaginary paradise.
Foreign Policy actually does a proper analysis of all countries in the world every year, and ranks them from most failing to least. they even create a color-coded interactive map of failing states for all the cynics and others, who like to complain a lot.
Short answer to the question from the headline is no, Slovenia is 16th least failing in the world, based on indicators like quality of living and such. read the methodology if you care.
I love datasets like this one, if you assemble them with care and if you actually make them complete, they have the power to perform reality-check.
