    Still hailing the Queen of England as the one omnipotent sovereign, Australia is one of the many English-speaking countries that rank in the richest cities of the world. In terms of GDP per capita, however, Australia is the wealthiest of all the English-speaking countries. The Land Down Under is famous for its unique mammalian life, which include p...

    It should come as no surprise that Scandinavian countries do very well in a list of top country by GDP. Sweden, the land of the Vikings, dark black coffee and to-die for cinnamon buns, ranks number nine on our list. Sweden certainly captures the popular imagination.

    Glittering in gold and jewels along the Persian Sea, Qatar ranks seventh on our list.

In the days of the Renaissance, Denmark was a major world po...

    Also known as the Land of the Fjords, the long thin stretch of land called Norway is the penultimate country on our list.

Oslo, with its highly pervasive biking culture and commitment to clean a...
