10. Belgium
Belgium represents the rich outcast cokeheads’ party, ranking number 10 in our most boring countries to live in. Seriously, they are the biggest cocaine consumers in the world, which you would think that would make the fun, but you’d be wrong. Unlike the surrounding cool party-hoods of France, Germany, and the Netherlands, Belgium is not particularly great at throwing the house out the window. Still, the hosts are quite good-looking, so it’s a good place to do some flirting, which is always fun.
They are filthy rich, so it’s not an absolute failure, the place is elegant and tasteful, the garden is chill, and the food is great, but there’s not much else to it. The biggest attraction is said to be Bruges, which is accurately described by Colin Farrell in the movie In Bruges: “If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn’t, so it doesn’t.” Seriously, that is exactly what that city feels like.
Size of the country: 30,528 km2
Population: 11,190,846

Social gender equality: It’s Western Europe, so women are as respected as men.
Alcohol and drugs: Woo-hoo! Here, for the price. Here, for a weird song about coke.

Tolerance for other cultures and religions: Pretty good. 58% are Roman Catholic; 14% consists of Muslims, alternative Christians and the remaining religious minorities; 27% are agnostic, atheist, or plain non-believers.
