3. Sweden

Sweden is the largest Scandinavian country and a wonderful place to visit, despite its income tax rate of 57%. Expat Americans say they experience some culture shock, despite the highly rated quality of life. Much of this is due to social norms and is especially an issue for singles. Some retirees love Sweden, despite its higher cost of living. It provides excellent health care to all and free college to its citizens (those high taxes at work!)
