1. Denmark – 8.2 points
Just like Sweden, Denmark is a Nordic welfare state with most of its services free to the citizens. Expect to pay 72% of your money to the government on the highest income tax bracket. According to Wikipedia Denmark has the world’s highest taxes! When buying a car in Denmark one has to pay 25% VAT to the import price of the vehicle and then a 180% registration tax on top. That means when a car sells for $20 000, you have to pay an additional $45 000 as taxes for the government (total of $65 000). That’s why people in Denmark ride bikes or use one of the best public transport systems in the world. Denmark also has 2 autonomous provinces – the Faroe Islands and Greenland. The latter is over 50 times larger than Denmark but has about 100 times less people.

丹麥 —— 8.2分
正如瑞典一樣，丹麥也是一個北歐福利國家，其大部分服務都是免費提供給國民的。丹麥的最高稅率為個人收入的72%。維基百科的數據顯示，丹麥是世界上稅率最高的國家！如果一個人要在丹麥買車，他必須按該車的進口價支付25%的增值稅，然后加上最高180%的注冊稅。也就是說，如果一輛車的價格是20,000美元，你必須額外支付45,000美元的稅收給政府（總共65,000美元）。這就是丹麥人騎自行車的原因，也就是丹麥擁有世界上最好的公共交通系統的原因。丹麥也有2個自治區——法羅群島和格陵蘭。格陵蘭的面積是丹麥的50倍，但是人口比丹麥少100倍。
