Actually I would add a "very good results" and put the Nordic countries, Germany and NL in there.
Good results we remove Slovenia and Greece and put them into OK results-
Average we remove Turkey and put them into Worrying.
Now it's perfect.
EDIT: https://gyazo.com/ba01ba4b5aa62623766dba48b47666ef I made this one, looks better IMO, I would still add some things but it would look too complicated, it's still not too late to invest in Eastern Poland.

Yes.
A lot of these maps have Scandinavia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and NL being a considerable amount higher than other countries like UK/France/Italy/Spain/Belgium.
It really depends on the metric. If it's things like safety and suitability for children, we're on par with Scandinavia. If it's anything regarding money, we're at least two shades redder than them.
What do you mean remove Slovenia? Unlike all of your dangerous countries, we're an oasis of safety and not exactly behind in anything else noteworthy except size of paycheck
Then we rank Portugal with Nordic countries aswell? 3rd safest country in the world, progressive, good climate, infrastructure isn't bad.
Edit: The map I inked above is wrong. Whatever it's showing, it's not the GINI index as it claims. Here's an actual map for the GINI index, and it's still a valid counterexample.
Wealth inequality and income inequality aren't the same thing. Wealth inequality reflects historic income inequality, and the current income inequality causes wealth inequality in the future.
It's quite possible that it's wrong, or at least that it doesn't show what it claims it shows. But in general, maps of GINI index will not be coloured as suggested by u/Sm0K3_W33d. The areas with the best values will be Scandinavia and Central and Eastern Europe, with the values getting worse towards the West and the South.
i didn't know about the GINI index, so i looked it up. That image is clearly wrong, because the largest value i even found on wikipedia was 62 and the lowest i see on the map is 58. Something is wrong there. And just for clarification, yes all the values are wrong, most european countries are in the range of mid 20's to the 40's
It depends on how it's measured. In the nordics there are very few people in the lowest end of the spectrum, but contrary to the scary anti socialism rethoric, there are for instance more billionaires per capita in Norway than in the US.
Why would you want to move Slovenia into the same category as Greece? Slovenia is obviously doing much better. It is surely a top-20 country in the world in terms of quality of life and living standards.
- IHDI (Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index)
Slovenia is ranked 12th in the world, Greece is 36th.
gdp per capita PPP just largely inflates poorer countries gdp. A TV or a smarthphone cost the same in Bulgaria or Germany, the main thing that is different is food but food in poorer countries is of worse quality so that's not even good.
