Which country in the world has the best reputation

An international firm has ranked the most reputable countries for 2016, based on various factors including environment, safety, politics and the citizens.

55 countries were rated as part of the survey from the Reputation Institute, an international consultancy and an advisory firm, which was completed by 48,000 residents of G8 countries (the world’s eight leading industrialised nations).

Sweden was voted as the country with the best reputation this year. The Scandinavian nation overtook Canada, which held the top spot last year. A combination of factors including Sweden’s peaceful nature, beautiful surroundings, economic growth, investment in green living and transparency in the media, led to the decision.

New Zealand wasn’t too far behind in the rankings, coming in at seventh place this year. It was one of only three non-European countries to make the top 10.
