The Good Country Index measures what countries contribute to the world outside their own borders, and what they take away: it’s their balance-sheet towards humanity and the planet

There are no good countries, there may be ‘better’ ones, but a country existing is inherently exclusionary and creates hierarchy.
The initiator wanted to introduce a new kind of look at countries, to not only look and value and rank them by gdp or happiness index but by their contributions to outside their own country. They call this good, as in doing good things rather than selfish things.
‘Better’ is a ranking of ‘goodness’ as well.
That side, do you see no good in hierarchy at all?
Correct, I’m an anarchist. Hierarchy is one of the most harmful things that currently exists. I wish to live in a world without it. I genuinely cannot think of a single instance of where my life has been, or could be, improved by hierarchy, only worsened.
That assumes absolute good and bad. Good can also have a relative meaning, when used for comparison.
Fair.
