*Anything* rotten in the state of Denmark?

One is bored with the surge of 'Top countries for blah' lists in the news these days... (nothing actually newsworthy happening lately?)

What's singularly interesting in all these weird lists however, is the repeated occurence of (surprise! surprise!!) Denmark at the number one spot.

Lets see... in just this last week, it has been judged: the best country for doing business in (Forbes survey), one of three least corrupt countries worldwide (Transparency International survey) and, wonder of wonders, even happiest/ most content country in the world (a UMich NSF-funded study).

How can a country that's not on the international mindmap even half as much as neighbouring Sweden or Finland be doing so well? (As an example, the only other reason it's made the news lately is as the starting point of a drunken Swede's ill-fated journey)

So. How can it be doing so well and manage to / want to keep so quiet about it?

What is going on? Good governance or good PR? Reality or hype? One wonders!

This, we have serious trouble believing.
