I'm sorry what?? Ireland??? Ireland is the richest nation on earth if you exclude micronations? How?

edit, oh its just another tax haven like Luxemburg. lol this list is as meaningless as the original claim. "places where lunchmeat store their capital, listed inversely relative to population size"

Any measure to compare the wealth of nations is shit compared to the only metric that matters: happiness

Pretty sure nordic countries would have the richest citizens in the world

Happiness can vary greatly even within a country. But there's a yearly ranking of the happiest city in the world, and it's almost always Vienna, fwiw
