"Best" in what sense?
I've lived in the USA, the UK (Scotland and Wales), and Italy long-term. My wife is Dutch, and we visit regularly, so I know quite a bit about The Netherlands.
My perception is that all those countries have positive and negative aspects.
Anyone who proclaims one country to be "The Best" is only expressing personal preference, and very likely demonstrating their ignorance and a rigid mindset.
Saying, "The USA is the best country in the world!" is as meaningless as saying, "My grandma makes the best meatloaf in the world!"
Asian countries are for the most part objectively better than USA and Europe
It is difficult to speak about so many places and all the implications this has but to condense everything, there is a much greater importance put on the community than the individual.
To give some examples of this, there is an extreme amount of respect practiced regularly by everyone, and there is humility for those who have less. People in general are more happy especially in countries that have not had as much colonization. People don't live with as much social pressures to become glamorous or influential and instead are more concerned about their family and community which lead to more fulfillment. Eastern religions are also not as focused on the self outside of Hinduism in India, and promote giving to others in ways even more strongly than in Abrahamic religions. People are living with less fear and value having fun and again are so much more generous and kind. There is nothing better inherently about being Asian but the norms in society are far more polite and in many countries friendly than in Europe or USA.

America IS the 1%: You need just $34,000 annual income to be in the global elite... and HALF the world's richest people live in the U.S.

Yes, Nickvey raises a good point. Americans are arrogant assholes that are generally hated when they travel abroad. Why? Because they deserve to be hated. They also fund much of the profitable foreign economic development thru financial positions taken by union pension funds and employer retirement plans.
Remember that when you piss and moan about my superior wealth, that the entire world thinks the same of you. You are the global 1%. That means mostly all Americans are united in wealth, superiority, and military efficiency.
especially under Trump better that drug lords kings queens and dictators and social democrats and fascists, Ill take the moral majority any lifetime.
Hey Nick. Thank you for not thinking plebeian thoughts. If fat inactive people want to kill themselves with diabetes, neither you nor I should have to pay for it. What we need is enough infrastructure to keep business costs low, and have the best graduate schools in the world. This will attract the all the world's geniuses to live here. They will accelerate leading edge technology keeping our stock market in blue chip territory. Earned income tax credits can keep burger flipping half wits solvent.
Peace out.
i have had residences in three on your list . USA is the most comfortable living on the planet.

There isnt one “best” country as each one has its faults; some more falts than others. The US is far from “best” and continues to stray. We have voted in an archaic orange peel that gives us live tweets instead of formal (televised or not) speeches and thinks global warming is a myth, to mention a few.

The United States of ‘Murica, of course. However, Switzerland would be a close second for me.
U.S.A is terrible by all means, Singapore is downright the best, with a thriving economy and great education system Singapore is like the country we look up to!
[in a British accent] OH THEY'RE SO ROYAL. We're lucky to have them coming here. But the rabble undoubtedly will be violent. Scum protesters– Oh, these insane people imagining the helicopters landing and the troops– these insane schizophrenics have come to town. The rabble– I'm so glad– thank God we're elite enough to have them though. I'm so honored. [switches to Cockney accent] Get back there mate! I'll have to have you arrested and have you deported! We're protecting criminals inside, busy stealing our pension funds and overrunning the country with third world populations. Now get back, you Yankee scum! HA HA! To show you the power of the Royal Guard Brigade! And this is the scotch we've been coughing down! Look at that pumpkin-headed Yank! That's the one, Alex Jones! I want you to know, young man, we will be watching you continually while we protect the Transhumanists putting cancer viruses in our children's shots!

The ones with the most blonde haired blueyed angels. Scandinavia. All of them, from Iceland to Finland. Minimalist design, pacifism; socialist utopias amongst a world of primitive savages.
The USA, BUT, China makes the best inflatables hands down, 2nd to none :)
