Oh gee, a left-wing magazine picks a left-wing country. Such a surprise.
Their
report fully lays out the criteria they used to order the countries. They didn't just randomly order the countries based on what felt good to them. If you disagree with their list of "things that make a country good", then obviously you will also disagree with the consequent ordering of the countries.
I get the sense that your personal sole criteria for how good a country is is how much money you can make in that country. While they do take into account the GDP per capita of the country, they also have a bunch of other criteria that you probably could not care less about. Hence, it's not surprising that you disagree with their ordering of the countries.
