I'm inclined to think African countries myself. Zimbabwe, South Africa, those kind of countries.

Must be those small countries in Europe:

Sweden, Denmark, Netherland, Luxemburg, Finland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Andorra, Norway, etc...

Belgium is too corrupt, Ireland too theorcratical to qualify.

Throw in New Zealand and you have the list of the best governments in the world.

BD got one right, and it can't be New Zealand. The next most logical choice would be Japan. I'm also going with Singapore, Australia, and Denmark.

Maybe it'd a bit easier to guess if you post those 47 countries, Adam.

I don't have the list, as I said in the first post. I heard this on NPR, and all they listed were the four "winners".

EDIT:

OK, some hints.

In alphabetical order,

1.
2.
3. Luxemburg
4.

#1 I believe would be considered part of North America
#2 I believe would be considered part of Asia
#4 is in Asia

#4 I think is Singapore.

It htne went on to explain the policy. I assure you, it is easy to find. There were hundreds of links.
