Which nation is currently the 'richest' one on the face of the Earth?

Question

Not just in wealth, but also in health, land size, population, 'spiritual' (not religious) background, etc. Also, what 'valid' proof is there to back up these 'facts'? Most people say it is America, but these days I'm not so sure of that. What's your take on this subject, and can you prove that what you state is true (only ask this question because there are times when 'numbers' don't always speak the truth) Thanks.

Answer 1

Saudi Arabia.  The US is rich, but Saudi Arabia owns most of it.

Answer 2

Brunei?

Answer 3

All the patriots who are saying it's the United States--check your facts.  Many countries have longer life expectancies, lower infant mortality, of course more population and land size.  An almanac would be a good source for this info--except I don't quite understand what you mean by "spiritual," nor do I understand what that has to do with anything.

As for my fellow Americans--we can love our country without thinking it's perfect or the best in everything.  It's not, but that's OK.  It's good to have room for improvement.
