Millennials are convinced Canada is the greatest country in the world

Maple syrup! Socialized heath insurance! Dreamboat Justin Trudeau!

There are a lot of great things about Canada — at least according to millennials, who voted the nation as the best in the entire world in a survey by U.S. News & World Report. By comparison, Germany won the "best country" category in the all-ages bracket.

But while the 5,800 voting millennials from around the world awarded Canada with the highest marks, the survey found they apparently weren't as keen on actually living there. When millennials voted on where they'd most like to live, Australia won, followed by Canada, Italy, New Zealand, and Sweden. The U.S. ranked a mere eighth. As for dating, most millennials think Brazil is best, followed by Italy, Spain, Australia, and New Zealand.
