OK, then which country is?
I often hear people refer to the greatness that is Andorra.
OK, then which country is?
You should have just quoted your signature because it cuts to the root of the question.I will stay in America till the day I die.

I disagree. No other country on the planet has access to our combination of wealth and power, it is what has given us an unprecedented position on the globe. We are the greatest country on the planet. There are more metrics in the world than whether or not Sweden has a higher high school math aptitude rate.
America is not even in the top 10 in standards for literacy, mathematics, science, and other academic categories. Our unemployment rate is high, our economy is failing. We still do not have equal civil rights for homosexuals, we have a large prison population and crime rate in many cities, the border is unsecured, our election process is a joke, etc, constitution is outdated and none of us have a say in it's revision, government is too powerful.
The first country 3 countries which come to mind are: Switzerland, Finland, Sweden.
All of these countries excel in educational standards, have solid economies, low crime rates, high satisfaction of citizens, and progressive civil rights. If you would like to know more about these countries, please feel free to google them.
Me too. Risky won't go where palm trees don't grow.
BBC NEWS | UK | England | Devon | Fury as town palm trees destroyed
Residents in a south Devon town are angry that several 50-year-old palm trees have been destroyed as part of development works by a local council.
Palm Trees in Ireland? | Surprising ScienceThe Palm Tree Page - Arecaceae
Phoenix canariensis is native to the Canary Islands where it is a national symbol. The sap is used there to make palm syrup. The Canary Island Date Palm is widely used as an ornamental plant in countries with warm and Mediterranean climates, even growing in Ireland and Southern England as it will withstand occasional mild frost. In warm countries Phoenix canariensis may be an invasive plant.

Yellow bellies be gone.
I’ve been in Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Canada, Mexico, Saint Tomas, Virgin Gorda, Germany, Austria, and Hungary long enough to get at least an accurate impression of the place and the people. I’ve participated in a sport I have a wonderful time doing in a few of those places, but it is best done in the US. (The world comes to the US to train.) I have a home on a beautiful ‘private’ river in Michigan with my own boat ramp and dock and a winter home in Arizona. Move from the US to another country? Are you kidding?
So, how was Switzerland, Finland and Sweden realy when you visited for say just a week?America is not even in the top 10 in standards for literacy, mathematics, science, and other academic categories.

We still do not have equal civil rights for homosexuals, we have a large prison population and crime rate in many cities, the border is unsecured, our election process is a joke, etc, constitution is outdated and none of us have a say in it's revision, government is too powerful.

I am under the belief that if I stay here my death will be quite premature. Even more premature than the medical systems in countries I would prefer would probably make it.

Switzerland, Finland, Sweden are so great but they will not accept you becoming a citizen?

Weak militaries make them rely on the us for protection. How long would they last if we pulled out of nato?
I have honestly never visited any of those countries. I have friends who live in Switzerland. Other than that, I'm basing my preferences on statistics and satisfaction rates among their populations.
And let me say this; I would like to stay here, but I feel I am powerless and the government is too powerful. There are many issues I have trouble accepting and I feel I cannot change them.
Look at Rosa Parks.

Ok, I see your point. However, besides civil rights issues, there are issues which cannot be fixed by refusing to move to the back of the bus.
Nice but not great. It has a puny army.
