Moldova 55th in quality of life index, Cayman Islands 54th, Romania 53rd

International Living magazine recently published its traditional January Quality of Life index.

The magazine explains that its decisions are based on "nine categories: Cost of Living, Culture and Leisure, Economy, Environment, Freedom, Health, Infrastructure, Safety and Risk, and Climate. This involves a lot of number crunching from "official" sources, including government websites, the World Health Organization, and The Economist, to name but a few. We also take into account what our editors from all over the world have to say about our findings."

Moldova was ranked 55th, right after the Cayman Islands and Romania. France is in first place, followed by Australia.

The best place to live in the former Soviet Union is Lithuania, which is ranked 22nd.

The full rankings are available here.
