Only 1001 nations have better weather than me

what about you guys?

How the hell do they measure weather? It looks like a function of environment, but "random" would be a better way of measuring.

Best Weather? Could this be any more random??

Maybe its somehow tied into the level of industrial pollution and 'green'/environmental policies. I dunno though. :?

It's obviously not random, just look at the listings. It's either based on environmental quality or just a backhanded way of giving a bonus to leftist nations.

I have good weather too! 8)

Only one in 36 nations have better weather than mine. 8)

only 1100 have better than mine...i think....

Obviously if you do not pollute (and do not have polluting neighbours) you have better weather.

I doubt that the arctic regions or the north pole pollutes much, yet their weather stinks (constant cold, snow, etc.)

While in some polluting countries, PRof China or the US, you can have pretty good weather.

Weather is really more about where you are and the climate factors associated with the region... only if your nation is a complete nuclear wasteland would there be any significant effect to the weather.

Hmm... Just under 80,000 nations better than me for weather. :?

You complain about leftists yet you are a leftist yourself, since you support slavery (draft) and all.

One of these days, you need to realize that total free-market capitalism is the ONLY moral system.

You don't believe in global warming either do you?

In a nation that pollutes (assuming for a moment that pollution is isolated to the nation that produces it) you have problems like smoke/other lovely chemicals being ejected into the sky, poor water quality, holes in the ozone layer etc which all lead to bad weather, things like acid rain, smog clouds over major cities, too much ultra violet light getting through etc. You also get more extreme weather, things like cyclones or tornados, not to mention rivers flowing backwards.

Well perhaps not the thing with rivers but still best weather does not mean how nice and sunny it is every day.

Ithuania talk about weather or go away. Conscription is a right wing thing.

Conscription isn't right or left. It's authoritarian in general. Command economies are just as willing to draft people regardless of whether they are right or left. The only difference is right tends to draft more for military, while left-authoritarians draft more for forced agricultural/industrial labor.

1st in my region, 644th in the world

Wah I am only 666th.

i disagree there are crap loads of liberal nations without good weather, youre reminding me of the myth that the media has a liberal bias

I think it's based on environmental.

i disagree there are crap loads of liberal nations without good weather,

Interesting sentences like that lead me to believe that you couldn't find any conservative nations with good weather. Hmmm.

Wolomy is not liberal or conservative and still has good weather.

There are plenty of right wing nations high up on the list, not as many as left wing nations but that is because in general the right just wants to make money and doesn't care about the environment, as a result they have icky weather and die young in a freak accident involving geese and a hang glider.

How does one define best weather?

Obviously if you do not pollute (and do not have polluting neighbours) you have better weather.

That last sentence (emphasis added by me) clearly breaks your argument. The question was which nation has the best weather, precisely being "how nice and sunny it is every day." While environmental pollutants and all the other good stuff described above by you do affect weather conditions and patterns, they can hardly attribute to dramatic climactic change in a short period of time (you'd need hundreds of years of a history of major pollution in order to get any significant imbalance in temperatures, extreme weather conditions, and the like.)

Nonetheless...you support conscription; therefore, you are a collectivist; therefore, you are a leftist.

Prove me wrong.
