3. Austria – 8.0 points
Austria is the home to the popular energy drink Red Bull. This country is also one of the few in the world, that allows legal voting beginning from age 16. Upon turning 18, all Austrian males have to take part of a 6 month military service. The country has declared itself formally a neutral country or a "perpetual neutrality" as they say it, but in reality it has taken part of various peacekeeping missions and also took part of the UN sanctions against Iraq. Thanks to the wide use of wind-, solar- and hydropower Austria produces around 80% of its energy from renewable resources. Education is mostly free, with the exception of an average semester fee of 583 dollars (370 eur) in universities. As you probably guessed – student loan debts are not an issue in Austria.
奧地利 —— 8.0分
奧地利是受歡迎的功能飲料紅牛的產(chǎn)地。這個(gè)國家也是世界上為數(shù)不多的規(guī)定投票法定年齡為16歲的國家之一。到18歲的時(shí)候,每個(gè)奧地利男人都必須服兵役6個(gè)月。這個(gè)國家已經(jīng)宣布其為中立國,或者按他們的說法“永久中立”。但事實(shí)上,奧地利參加了聯(lián)和國的維和任務(wù),也參加了制裁伊拉克行動(dòng)。由于對(duì)風(fēng)力、太陽能和水力的充分利用,奧地利80%的能量是由可再生資源產(chǎn)生的。除了大學(xué)要花費(fèi)583美元(370歐元)外,教育基本上是免費(fèi)的。你可能已經(jīng)猜到了,那就是學(xué)生貸款在奧地利是很容易的。
