I came across another interesting ranking. This time CNN ranked the 12 coolest countries in the world.
While I'm not really clear about the selection criteria, top 3 is not a surprise:
1) Brazilians
2) Singaporeans
3) Jamaicans
First European country comes in 6 position with Spain.
But the most surprising was Belgium in position 11!
Yep, you read that right: Belgians. You might ask yourself why? Have a look at why CNN placed Belgium in their top 12 coolest countries.
While many countries are these days fighting for democracy, Belgium is demonstrating that a country may not need a government after all. Scary.

"OK, so it's small, damp and has a grim rep as a haven for European Union bureaucrats and sex offenders. But a nation that has made art forms of beer, chocolate and, yes, finch warbling can't be all bad.
In the past three years, Belgium has been hit by a political crisis that has left it without a government for months on end. In most countries, that would trigger anarchy, looting and offshore piracy. Belgians, however, have nonchalantly been getting on with it."
