Think of countries as houses

We could therefore construct a country "housing" index:

So where do you think your country would stand in the list?

You will need a spreadsheet with these headings to discover where your country stands:

It’s not easy to get all the information or even assemble the list. Even AI is having a hard time with it.

When we pick a home, we can be easily influenced by things like a fresh paint job and how spacious everything looks when it’s clean. Then we might narrow it down by price range and the age of the home.

But when it comes to choosing a country, it seems much harder. The usable space in a country isn’t always that obvious either. We can only guess how big a city will become as the years go by, while a country normally doesn’t change much in size.

It probably takes a war to significantly change a country’s borders. But the world is warming, and perhaps some countries might eventually want more land farther north. How much of it is for sale?

Most people don't have a horse, hence can't relate.
