The most globalised countries of the World

[JimmyCracksCorn]

This is kind of a "duh!" survey.

Smaller countries are more "international" (as if countries can somehow exist in and of themselves anyways) because they have to be, as Dauphin said, while bigger ones are less international because they don't.

Although I find the personal contact bti for the US odd. The US lets in approx. 1,000,000 new immigrants every year. Are these people just not phoning home? Or are they bringing over their entire family so they don't have to?

If it was the other way around, the French would've been better than us. We cant accept that, right?

Now that thousands of Frenchies are immigrating in Irael every year, we have no problem in falling behind, provided we are not overtaken by Slovenia.

actually the average age of immigrants here in the US is 39, 4 years older then the population, so that is very much a possibility.

1 million into 290 million is not that high.

also, economic strength doesn't equal economic open-ness. you can't count as economicly globalised if you have a protected market.

So the US is backwards except on technology.

Who didn't know that?

This report is probably true, for what it's worth (not much, IMO).

Consider Poly. While it is a site run by a Greek and a Canadian, it will be counted in the American technology score, because the site is hosted in the US. We have a fairly international crowd here all accessing a US site.

I don't think it's a measurment at all, really. After all, Singapore isn't the best nation in the world.

Who said it was? This isn't supposed to be a measure of best. It's supposed to be a measure of "international".

[DanS]

Singapore is the extreme of "international." It earns its score.

Denmark rules, somewhat.

The general vibe about the thread, it seems. ( Thanks, Eli )

I thought we were all antisemitic monsters? Don't they teach you whippersnappers anything at school?

Of course, that's why french jews come here. ( seriously, I've seen quite a bit of new french immigrants, in our university).

The real reason that many in Israel don't like France is not perceived or whatever antisemitism, but it's the continuing French policy in the middle east, since the rift of france and Israel, that looks completely and utterly idiotic and self-defeating from where we stand.
